Details about all of this can be found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

The Nazi Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP) formally adopted the swastika or Hakenkreuz (hooked cross) in 1920. This was used on the party's flag (right), badge, and armband. It had also been used unofficially by the NSDAP and its predecessor, the German Workers Party, Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (DAP).

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."
(Red, white, and black were the colors of the flag of the old German Empire.)

The use of the swastika was associated by Nazi theorists with their conjecture of Aryan cultural descent of the German people. Following the Nordicist version of the Aryan invasion theory, the Nazis claimed that the early Aryans of India, from whose Vedic tradition the swastika sprang, were the prototypical white invaders. It was also widely believed that the Indian caste system had originated as a means to avoid racial mixing.[citation needed] The concept of Racial purity was an ideology central to Nazism though it is now considered unscientific. For Rosenberg, the Aryans of India were both a model to be imitated and a warning of the dangers of the spiritual and racial "confusion" that, he believed, arose from the close proximity of races.

Answer 4

He dreamed it up even down to the relative size of it in the flag. The swastika (as history tells it) is a Hindu religious symbol. More specifically to Germany and their use of it, the swastika represented the Aryan master race of people (built mainly on legend). The Nazi regime had the dream of a pure race - that's the reason for the persecution of the Jews in their country at that time.

The Swastika existing centuries before Hitler came to be linked with it.

Though Hitler didn't create the swastika, as it was already in use by a "prestigious" organisation called The Thule Society, which funded what became The National Socialist Party... the party Hitler came to lead and which was symbolised by the redflag brandished with the swastika.

Answer 6

Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck.

Answer 7

The swastika originates from a sacred symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism. The word itself means "well-being". The Nazis corrupted it for their cause.
