Despite the fact that Hitler put his hand to the adoption of the swastika as a symbol of the National Socialist movement, the author of this idea, it was not.Swastika actively use all sorts of organizations, the German nationalist and anti-Semitic long before the NSDAP.The value of it is understood in different ways.For some, it was an ancient symbol of the esoteric meaning, but for others - opposed to the star of David, symbolizing the purity of German blood.And I must say that the last value was the most common.
party symbol

Crone filed a memorandum in which justified the adoption of the swastika symbol of the Nazi Party.However, his understanding of the meaning of the symbols were borrowed from the historian and occultist Guido von List, piously believed in the Indo-German ancestors of the Germans.That is, the Nazi swastika had no religious or cultural and ethnic roots, and was taken from mythology.Hitler considered the draft Crohn's, persuaded him to change the position of the cross with the left hand to right hand.And then personally took up the development of the character movement.The way he did it, quite detailed by himself in "Mein Kampf."And Hitler's swastika and little interest was adopted them for granted.According to him, it was a decent, old anti-Semitic symbol for the struggle for the victory of the Aryan race, and among other things symbolizing the creative work.That's what is Nazi swastika for the Nazis.
