• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hi

huub vink is right. The swastika as a symbol i mutch older than used by the nazis.

Finland used it on the first military aircraft on 1920´s The plane whas a gift from Count von Rosen with family used the blue colored swastika as a symbol at the castle "Rockelsta" in Sweden.

Latvia used also the swastika on ther airforce in early 1930´s but colored red.

Best Regard

Indeed, it is thousands of years old and used by many cultures. It is no more a nazi symbol than the American flag is a symbol of the KKK. Like many cultural icons throughout history things get used and abused.
