You didn't get the point. It's not about their willingness. It is about the differences of legal anvironment between US and DE. Maybe it's legal to talk about nazism in the US and maybe you get to jail for it in germany. Maybe a definite percent of Wikipedia articles legal in the US and illegal in DE. Do you want to get US WIKIMEDIA sued because they are present in german law environment? Do you want de-us.wikipedia.org and de-de.wikipedia.org for separating articles which are not legal in germany? Having a censored mirror maybe? (Bad words changed to stars? THere are funny ideas in the politics field.)
I doubt that "talking" about Nazism would be illegal. It's "promoting" it that would be illegal. One also has to consider that there are other German speaking countries, like Switzerland. If this is a serious problem, rather than an imaginary one based on sombody's misunderstanding, one could create an intermediate boilerplate page containing something like the following:
Reading the page [[Nazism]] may be illegal in Germany. If you live outside of Germany or otherwise feel that this does not apply to you, please click [[here]] to continue. Otherwise use the back button in your tool bar.
