Answer 1

actually it is a very old symbol that meant life liberty and some other crap that starts with L.... hitler meant it for the same thing. but it just seems like a bad symbol because of who used it.... theres a huge ancient sculpture somewhere of a swastica. and the olympics were once held there.... and some people saw it on TV and fraked out..(this was not when germany help the olympics)

Answer 2

Why did Hitler choose the swastika symbol to represent the Nazis?

In 1920, Adolf Hitler decided that the Nazi Party needed its own insignia and flag. For Hitler, the new flag had to be a symbol of their struggle as well as "highly effective as a poster".

Hitler had a convenient but spurious reason for choosing the hooked cross. It had been used by the Aryan nomads of
India in the second millennium.

In Nazi theory, the Aryans were of German ancestry, and Hitler concluded that the swastika had been eternally anti-semitic

Answer 3

Hitler believed the Aryans were the master race, and that the German people were descended from them. Never mind that the Aryans are a people from Asia, near India, and are a more dark-skinned group of people. But he was sure it was true, and even sent expeditions of scientists out to measure their skull sizes, among other things, and compare them to Germans. The swastika was a design used by the Aryans, so he considered it to be an almost magical symbol of them.

Answer 4

He wasn't a very good artist, and being that he was a control freak, he wouldn't let anyone else have input.

The swastika was the only half-way mean and terrible looking symbol he could draw.

He wanted a skull and crossbones in an eagle's talons, but every time he tried to draw that it came out looking like a bunch of pencil d*cks touching a fried chicken leg.

He didn't like fried chicken because he was a racist.

HAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!

Answer 5

The EU has been urged to ban the swastika because of its Nazi associations with hate and racism. But the symbol was around long before Adolf Hitler. The swastika is a cross with its arms bent at right angles to either the right or left. In geometric terms, it is known as an irregular icosagon or 20-sided polygon.

The word is derived from the Sanskrit "svastika" and means "good to be". In Indo-European culture it was a mark made on people or objects to give them good luck.

It has been around for thousands of years, particularly as a Hindu symbol in the holy texts, to mean luck, Brahma or samsara (rebirth). It can be clockwise or anti-clockwise and the way it points in all four directions suggests stability. Sometimes it features a dot between each arm.

Nowadays it is commonly seen in Indian artwork and current and ancient Hindu architecture, and in the ruins of the ancient city of Troy. It has also been used in Buddhism and Jainism, plus other Asian, European and Native American cultures.

The British author Rudyard Kipling, who was strongly influenced by Indian culture, had a swastika on the dust jackets of all his books until the rise of Nazism made this inappropriate. It was also a symbol used by the scouts in Britain, although it was taken off Robert Baden-Powell's 1922 Medal of Merit after complaints in the 1930s.

The Finnish Air Force also used it as its official symbol in World War II, and it still appears on medals, but it had no connection with the Nazi use.

It is rarely seen on its own in Western architecture, but a design of interlocking swastikas is part of the design of the floor of the cathedral of Amiens, France.

Swastika is also a small mining town in northern Ontario, Canada, about 580 kilometres north of Toronto. Attempts by the government of Ontario to change the town's name during World War II were rejected by residents.

But it is its association with the National Socialist German Workers Party in the 1930s which is etched on the minds of Western society. Before Hitler, it was used in about 1870 by the Austrian Pan-German followers of Schoenerer, an Austrian anti-Semitic politician.

Its Nazi use was linked to the belief in the Aryan cultural descent of the German people. They considered the early Aryans of India to be the prototypical white invaders and hijacked the sign as a symbol of the Aryan master race.

The Nazi party formally adopted the swastika - what they called the Hakenkreuz, the hooked cross - in 1920. This was used on the party's flag (above), badge, and armband.

In Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler wrote: "I myself, meanwhile, after innumerable attempts, had laid down a final form; a flag with a red background, a white disk, and a black swastika in the middle. After long trials I also found a definite proportion between the size of the flag and the size of the white disk, as well as the shape and thickness of the swastika."

Answer 6

Didn't the hindu symbol mean good luck? I know Hitler was a very supersticious man, maybe by putting it in reverse he thought it was like a reverse jynx, or something? I think it's a good looking symbol.... Too bad most people freak out whenever they see it....

Answer 7

Reported for talking about hitler. Joking, but I think he just wanted a recognizable sign for his party.
