Frostbyte v3.0 Wrote:The swastika is actually two Norse runes overlapping each other. Both of them are the rune, 'Sigel', meaning 'Sun', and means life, light and hope. The other one is the same rune. So, my guess is that the swastika is trying to say that 'Hilter's not a bad guy, really!' Plastering a sacred image on everything you own doesn't make you any nicer...
Or, if you want to go back even further than Norse mythos...
The Nazi swastika is really just a 45 degree tilt of the Asian swastika; which is a sign of good luck (Which is why you'll see it plastered on monastary walls and Buddhist statues)
It's also a symbol of a order during the middle ages
