The Swastika is not, per se, a "Religious" Symbol!
In fact, it is a thing similar to the points of a Compass!
It's actually a depiction of the "ashta dikkas" or the "Eight Directions" and is taken by some to be the key to locating the "ashta dikkapalakas" or the "Lords of the Eight Directions".
In fact they are merely the four Cardinal points and the four mid-Points of the Compass!?
Like the others said, there were occult Groups that believed the story of the "ashta dikkapalakas" and even thought they were some kind of Demon-Gods; while others thought the Swastika was n ancient rune, since it was used by Western Magicians who copied it from the Hindus and Hitler got it from them, not the Hindus!
Believe it or not, this is the Truth!
All the best!
Cheers!

Hitler 'borrowed' the swastica from the Golden Dawn, where it was used as a symbol for the Zealetor Grade (along with the 'heil Hitler' right-arm salute). The Zealetor Grade was associated with the earth, which accorded well with the Nazi's endorsement of Neitzshe (who said, "Let the Superman be the meaning of the Earth.") The swastica was also associated with the "Aryan" race (identified with the Indo-Europeans), and so represented Hitler's concept of a pure ethnic bloodline.

Human beings want to be right. And they will exaggerate,
and even unconsciously lie to be right.
There are actually two ways to draw this ancient Wheel
of Life symbol. It is based on the equal-sided cross which
symbolizes the four directions.
Drawing the lines to the left, denotes movement to the right, clockwise, with nature. Drawing the lines to the right, denotes movement to the left. Counter-clockwise, against nature. Or the positive, constructive aspect
of the Lifeforce, and the negative, destructive or recycling aspect of the Lifeforce.
If used together, they can symbolize a balancing of these
two aspects of Creation. People who use the swastika
that symbolizes the negative side alone, are doing it intentionally, no matter what they tell you. Or they are just
confused.

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.

If you look closely, Hitler's swastika is the reverse of the Hindu swastika. The Hindu's were using this symbol long before ol' Adolph.

The swastika has been used for centuriess through Eurasia and the name itself is Sanskrit. It means lucky or auspicious and is consequently used extensively in Hinduism, Buddhism and other religions.
Hitler chose it for these same reasons, and because it is a very strong visual icon.

the swastika was i assume was founded during the Aryan kingdom era which in it symbolises purity? and/or "the inconquerrable".? something like that. thats where we hear of Hitler's pure aryan race of germans... genocide and the holocaust were mere means to Hitler's end literally yet ironically.

It is not just a holy symbol to the Hindus... it is a symbol both of whirling energies (representing the universe), also the sun.
also the number 12 as it contains 12 cubes... maybe that is over your head.
Nazis... I dunno. it was an officer badge in certain occult circles. maybe?
