Thanks. You are correct that "a swastica is usually standing on one of the flat sides, not on the corner. It was artwork of Adolf Hitler himself, who had the idea to change that, and to put a black Hakenkreuz standing on the corner in a white circle onto red background (referencing the colors of Deutsches Reich as well as the red background of socialist flags at the same time)." Hitler put the symbol on its corner to highlight the S-shapes for his socialism. He also always oriented it in the S-direction, again for his socialism. Your comments are consistent with those points. "Hakenkreuz" is a common German word used for translation of "swastica". However, you as a German native speaker would not dispute that it clearly (even to an English speaker) literally means "hooked cross." And you would concede that Hitler did NOT use the work swastika, he used the work hakenkreuz. Swastika is a sanskrit word that was deliberately used by people to mislead them about the German symbol, and to distance the German national socialist symbol from the cross (and the religious impact of crosses), by instead defaming a foreign sanskrit term and symbol. The SS runes are not a misunderstanding. No one said they stand for "socialism" (other than that it was part of the government under German national socialism). They're meaning "Schutzstaffel" clearly shows the same type of stylized use of the rune style lettering for a word that has S-letters in them. In other words, the VW logo also does not stand for "socialism" (other than it was a car intended to demonstrate German national socialism) yet it again shows two letters in stylized form to represent words. Your comments support the point made in the original post, that the Hakenkreuz was used to represent stylized crossed S-shapes for the socialist party it represented. http://rexcurry.net/swastika3swastika.jpg Your comments are consistent with, support and even repeat the points made in the work of Dr. Rex Curry. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hakenkreuz-oxford-english-dictionary.html __ /\_\ / / /_ / /_/\ \ _\ \/ \ \ /\ \ /\ \_\ \ \/ \ \/_/ \ /\ \_\ \/_/ / / / / / \/_/ ascii swastika text swastikas P.S. Fritz Wuehler is a registered proctologist and a Nazi lover (up his fucking ass LOL) The Azz man is, of course, an ass man and a nut upon which you do not want to waste time. He does not claim to have any profession (other than being an ass man and simply an ass) Azz man confuses the two Bellamys and tries to cover-up their relationship and azz man deliberately tries to cover-up the fact that the Pledge of Allegiance was written by a socialist, even though azz man knows that it is true and he never actually disputes the points made. The USA's Pledge of Allegiance was also the origin of the Nazi salute adopted later by Adolf Hitler (see the site that archives the work of Dr. Rex Curry). http://rexcurry.net Azz man should be thanked though for the tip about "My Socialist Slave Number Is: (you add your Social Security Number here) items at CafePress T-shirts http://www.cafepress.com/rexy That is some rockin kewl stuff.
