It’s a bit sad that the swastika in mainstream is now considered a symbol of evil due to the Nazi’s.

Yeah, it’s very sad. The symbol has been around for such a very long time … and then some Nazi bitches have to go and fucking ruin it. It’s a damn shame if you ask me.

Give us 300-400 years or so and we’ll probably feel better about re-claming the symbol. I think Nazi’s just put such a huge stink on it that its going to take longer to fade away.

I doubt the swastika will ever overcome its negative connotations, even though it was used for centuries before the Nazi’s adopted it.

Too weird.
I JUST finished posting (and fixing, and fixing, and fixing) an entry on my Blogspot. I finally finished, then came here and see this article.
Why do I think this is so weird?
I got a 1944 Deutsches Reich 5 pfennig piece in change last week. From a convenience store. In Lancaster PA.
Just discovered it yesterday when I was doing laundry.

You think that’s bad think of all the people who’s last name was Hitler!
I know of a few cases where people had to change their name.

Isn’t the orientation of the “tentacles” on Nazi swastika contrary to the same on “lucky” swastikas?

Carlsberg beer had a swastika as a logo. I have one of their antique beer bottles (pre 1930) with a swastika molded into the bottom.
Also a picture of their factory with the swastikas on the elephants out front.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlsberg(friki - I think the bad guys reversed the swastika and rotated it 45 degrees)

BikerRay is right. The Nazi symbol is reversed and rotated 45 degrees. In Asia, the original swastika is still used as a Buddhist symbol (esp. to show the location of temples on maps). When in Korea, I saw a man with a Nazi flag hanging from his vending cart. Just as I was about to give him a piece of my mind, my Korean friend reminded me that the man probably didn’t realize it was actually a Nazi flag.
Swastikas also appear prominently as architectural ornamentation on buildings constructed before the late 1930’s in my part of the country… Western South Dakota.
I certainly hope the symbol loses its evil connotations and is re-instated as a sign of peace and prosperity in the not too distant future…

1. The Nazi’s swastikas has the same arm “spin direction” as is shown on these chicks’ uniforms.
2. While the Nazis often rotated their swastika 45 degrees (as aarron notes) from what is shown in this pic, that is not a hard and fast rule. They also frequently had it in banners oriented just like it is shown in this picture. If you’ve ever watched Leni Reifenstahl’s “Triumph des Willens (Triumph of the Will)” you’ll have seen LOTS of banners in the non-rotated orientation. This wiki page has a picture of one at an SA (Brownshirt) Rally:

Reminded me of this story, about a US-military swastika-shaped building. Oops.
