The swastika myth has been exposed. Debunked is the claim that the swastika
was used by Hitler as a sankrit sign for “good luck” and
stolen from an eastern culture (or that it was reversed for "evil"). It is in a new online book http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html
The myth began in translations of Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf” containing the
only comments ever made about the symbol by the leader of the monstrous National
Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazis). Hitler did not use the word "swastika." Hitler used the German word
“hakenkreuz.” The most literal translation is “hooked cross.”
Most readers intuitively understand “hooked cross” or "crooked cross" or even “hakenkreuz,”
but not “swastika.” There is no evidence that Hitler knew “swastika.”
The word "swastika" as used in English for the symbol of the National
Socialist German Workers' Party was a misleading translation of "hakenkreuz."
In "Mein Kampf" Hitler gives little information about his selection of the
symbol, but he states "a dental surgeon from Starnberg submitted a good design
very similar to mine, with only one mistake, in that his swastika with curved
corners was set upon a white background." Hitler in his own words states
that the design was not enough like the hard-cornered "S" letters of the
sieg rune as used also in the "SS" division. Some people have identified
the dental surgeon as Dr. Friedrich Krohn, and they claim that Krohn's design
also pointed in the opposite direction, which was changed to point clockwise
by Hitler. Another source claims that many National Socialists accepted
Krohn's design, but Hitler insisted changing it. All of the above
shows Hitler's deliberate alteration of the original proposals into a specific
goal-orented symbol of "S" letters.
Hitler's Hakenkreuz was not a swastika. A swastika can point left or right,
and historically sits flat on one side in a square shape.
1. The socialist swastika's arms reach clockwise. Before modern times, the
most common representation of swastikas was with arms that reached counter-clockwise.
The reason that the National Socialist German Workers' Party turned their
swastika's arms to reach clockwise was to highlight the letter “S” shape
for “socialism.”
2. The socialist swastika is turned 45 degrees to the horizontal. The
reason that the National Socialist German Workers' Party turned their swastika
45 degrees to the horizontal was to highlight the letter “S” shape. In
ancient times, the swastika is usually flat on one side in a square shape,
not a diamond.
3. The socialist swastika repeats the thunder-bolt "S" characters commonly
used for words beginning with "S" in other symbolism by the National Socialist
German Workers' Party.
4. The socialist swastika resembles a rune from the ancient Germanic alphabet
that corresponds to the letter "S" used as a stylized "S" in other Nazi symbolism.
The "S is for Socialism" symbol is a mnemonic device today because a hackneyed
abbreviation for "National Socialist German Workers' Party" is used exclusively
by media and government schools so that most people who use the abbreviation
do not know what the abbreviation abbreviates (National Socialist German
Workers' Party).
