The fans, aged 21 and 24 and from Bolton, Greater Manchester, were held at the Waldstadion as England beat Paraguay 1-0.
Both men, who had daubed the symbols on their bare torsos, were released after paying a surety and allowed to remain in the country but may be prosecuted later.
Robert Schaefer, the operational commander of German police in Frankfurt, said they were among a total of 13 England fans arrested in the city on Saturday. None remain in custody.

Swastika drawn on the backside is not such a good idea, especially as the World Cup is in Germany. I guess though, that was the point. I am surprised the Germans never sent the 2 men back to Bolton.
