German national socialists did not call their symbol a swastika. They called it a Hakenkreuz, or hooked cross and they used it to represent crossed S-letters for their socialism (see the work of the symbologist Dr. Rex Curry). http://rexcurry.net/swastika3swastika.jpg Journalists and others (who claim that the nazis defamed the "swastika" symbol) are actually the ones who continue to defame the "swastika" by never explaining what the nazis called their symbol nor what it represented for the German national socialists. The old media pretend that they want to alleviate the problem, but they perpetuate the confusion, and in a sense they ARE the problem, because they will not explain the points above. They are vulgus profanum. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hakenkreuz-oxford-english-dictionary.html __ /\_\ / / /_ / /_/\ \ _\ \/ \ \ /\ \ /\ \_\ \ \/ \ \/_/ \ /\ \_\ \/_/ / / / / / \/_/
