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 our own struggle" as well as "highly effective as a poster." (Mein Kampf, pg. 495)

On August 7, 1920, at the Salzburg Congress, this flag became the official emblem of the Nazi Party

In Mein Kampf, Hitler described the Nazis' new flag: "In red we see the social idea of the movement, in white the nationalistic idea, in the swastika the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man, and, by the same token, the victory of the idea of creative work, which as such always has been and always will be anti-Semitic." (pg. 496-497)

Because of the Nazis' flag, the swastika soon became a symbol of hate, antisemitism, violence, death, and murder.

To be more specific.

Following the Creation of the German S.S. Elite...

Hitler crossed the S and S in his diary and decided upon the symbolic tact of the Reich...as a completion of the Aryan Nation in a thousand year empire...he was an occult enthusiast and the symbols fit with the underground waves of his Archaeological and Historical Worship of the Fatherland...

I guess when you are hopped up on ten drugs or so at a time, have a fanatical mindset regarding the creation of an Uberland...and a need to be a pirate and warlord to achieve dominance over the world in fiefdoms and vassal lands...you tend to Romanticize your world in Symbols.

If you mean the Swastika flag, that was originally just the Nazi party flag; when the Nazis came to power in 1933 in was made a state flag equal in right to the existing one, and then in 1935 it replaced the original state flag.
