The swastika, although an ancient symbol, was also used to represent "S" letters joined for "socialism" under the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazis), similar to the alphabetical symbolism for the SS Division, the SA, the NSV, and the VW logo (the letters "V" and "W" joined for "Volkswagen"). http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a2a1.html

The swastika myth exposed:
and "swastika socialism"

Although the swastika was an ancient symbol for "good luck" in India, that is not why it was used by the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The swastika changed from a good-luck symbol for "well-being," to a bad-luck symbol for "socialism." Under the Nazis it was called a "Hakenkreuz," not a "swastika." One reason why it was chosen and/or maintained by the Party is because they used it to symbolize two crossed "S" letters for "Socialism."  
http://rexcurry.net/swastikanews.html

Some novices make the absurd argument that during the 25 year existence of the horrid Party no Nazi noticed the "S" shapes nor attached any meaning (nor anyone in the SS Division). They also ignore the fact that the Party leader was an ex-artist.
http://rexcurry.net/swastika3swastika.jpg

According to the book "The Swastika - Symbol beyond redemption?" by Steven Heller, the swastika symbol was stylized in a version by the famous German designer Wilhelm Deffke prior to 1920. Professor Klaus Winterhager, graphic artist, has also lectured on "Signs of Power" and researched that the swastika was draft of the famous graphic artist and label designer Wilhelm Deffke. According to Deffke's former assistant, Deffke redefined an ancient Germanic sun wheel and German socialists chose it as their symbol but reversed it. Heller, Winterhager, and Deffke's assistant express surprise that German socialists took the symbol without thought of copyright or compensation to Deffke.

All three people thus overlooked the discovery by the noted historian Dr. Rex Curry  (author of "Swastika Secrets") that the symbol was no longer the same symbol.  The symbol had been reversed and was no longer an ancient German sun wheel, but rather overlapping "S" letters for "socialism." It was a significant and meaningful innovation that even Deffke did not foresee. Dr. Curry's work has changed the way people think about the swastika. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

Socialists socialized the swastika in more ways than one. On May, 19, 1933, Josef Goebbels' announced the "Law for Protection of National Symbols."  The anti-capitalist attitude of the socialists banned use of the swastika for individual or commercial purposes. The swastika was socialized for official purposes for the glory and worship of government.
http://rexcurry.net/swastika4.gif

Germany's socialist swastika had the same meaning as the earlier Soviet Swastika and the Hammer and Sickle: The German and Soviet swastikas were two "S" letters that represented socialists joining together; the hammer and sickle represented socialists joining together, particularly workers joining with peasants, or factory workers joining with agricultural workers. http://rexcurry.net/ussr-socialist-swastika-cccp-sssr.html

The German term for "swastika" is "Hakenkreuz" ("hooked cross") because the symbol represented two separate pieces crossed (two "S" shaped pieces).  
http://rexcurry.net/swastika2b.jpg

Around November 7, 1935, the war (or military) flag was announced under German National Socialism. "Soldiers of the armed forces, " Adolf Hitler said "The swastika cross shall be for you a symbol of the nation's unity and purity, an emblem of the National Socialist Weltanschuung [world view] and a pledge for the Reich's freedom and strength."

In Mein Kampf, the German socialist leader referred to the socialist swastika and the flag: "In red we see the social idea of the movement, in white the nationalistic idea, in the swastika the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man, and, by the same token, the victory of the idea of creative work..." (pg. 496-497). In German the swastika reference was: "im Hakenkreuz die Mission des Kampfes für den Sieg des arischen Menschen und zugleich mit ihm auch den Sieg des Gedankens der schaffenden Arbeit,"

In his own words, Hitler stated that the swastika referred to work (labor) and mimicked the Soviet's "new" swastika replacement, the Hammer and Sickle (two tools of workers). Hitler states that the Hakenkreuz (hooked cross) represents two crossed "S" shapes known as "sieg" symbols. Those "S" letters were used for "S" in other German socialist symbolism. He made overlapping use of the word "victory" or "sieg" in German.  The red color represented socialism as the "social idea of the movement" for which Hitler claimed the National Socialist German Workers' Party was struggling for victory. The so-called "swastika" represented two "S" letters for "socialism" and is related to "Sieg Heil!" in the sense of the NSGWP's cry of "Hail to the Victory of Socialism!"   His use of the term "arischen" for Swastika Socialism mimicks the Soviet swastika and the Soviet hammer and sickle in the effort to glorify workers (represented by their tools in the hammer and sickle) as the new super soviet socialist men.

German socialists were heavily influenced by earlier Soviet socialists, even in regard to concentration camps, purges, and genocide.

In 1939, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the National Socialist German Workers’ Party joined as allies to invade Poland in a Pact to divide up Europe, spreading WWII. http://rexcurry.net/socialists.html

They USSR embraced the swastika symbol even more then, and the hammer and sickle was displayed proudly next to and in partnership with the socialist swastika.

Hitler also wrote: "Two years later, when our squad of hall guards had long since grown into storm detachments, it seemed necessary to give this defensive organization of a young Weltanschhauung a particular symbol of victory, namely a Standard."  In German it was: "Zwei Jahre später, als aus der Ordnertruppe schon längst eine viel tausend Mann umfassende Sturmabteilung geworden war, schien es nötig, dieser Wehrorganisation der jungen Weltanschauung noch ein besonderes Symbol des Sieges zu geben: die Standarte."  In the only comments on the swastika by Hitler, the Sturmabteilung was specifically referenced.  The Sturmabteilung had a well-known Nazi banner that included the swastika and another banner also utilizing another stylized "S" symbol.  



********************



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"). http://rexcurry.net/swastikanews.html

The myth began in translations of Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf” containing early comments 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." 

More support comes from a fan of RexCurry.net who writes: "British propaganda of WWII that I’ve read used 'crooked cross.' ”

"Hakenkreuz" is in Adelung's dictionary (of German words) of 1811, and "Swastika" is not.  Adelung's reference of 1811 for “Hakenkreuz” predates the "swastika" reference of 1871 in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) by 60 years.  The OED also lists “hakenkreuz” as an English word used in the Times in 1931. 

Another fan writes: "To judge from the OED, we didn't have a single widely-known term for the symbol in the early 1930's when, suddenly, every newspaper needed one.  The OED indicates that for a while, the newspapers imported 'Hakenkreuz.'  It would be interesting to know how 'swastika' became the usual name. It seems that Germans didn't have anything to do with it."

It is fascinating to think that of the gazillion times and ways that the National Socialist German Workers Party referred to the symbol of their socialism,  many people failed to grasp the full import of what they were saying, and that the words also referred to the "S" shapes of the symbol.

Two of the flags show the name "National Socialist German Workers' Party" or "National Socialist" incircling or surrounding the swastika. Both swastikas have been turned or face the right to accentuate the "S" shape (turned by the National Socialist German Workers' Party).   

One of the banners includes an additional word that begins with the letter "S," (Sturmabteilung).  That group was specifically referred to in the only comment on the swastika by Hitler.

Another banner shows how the National Socialist German Workers' Party used other stylized "S" letters, similar to the stylizing of the swastika. In that banner the swastika itself is overlayed with two additional "S" letters in the common lightning-bolt style of the runes.  

Another banner shows a single letter "S" in the lightning-bolt style of the runes, sometimes used for youth organizations.

There is a pennant with heavily stylized "SA" letters, deliberately designed to evoke the overlapping letter "S" shapes of the swastika.

THE TRIO OF MYTHS

Three terms sum up popular myths:  “Swastika” and “Nazi” and “Roman Salute.”  RexCurry.net exposed all three. 

The "Roman salute" myth holds that the Nazi salute was from ancient Rome.  The myth was refuted by the historic discovery that the salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis) came from a national socialist in the USA who used a straight-arm salute as part of the original pledge of allegiance. http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html

The pledge of allegiance was written by a self-proclaimed National Socialist in the USA in 1892 (Francis Bellamy) who promoted "military socialism" and operated the "Nationalist" magazine and spread the straight-arm salute via kids in schools, three decades before the Nazis adopted similar behavior.

RexCurry.net also exposed the “Nazi” myth, that Nazis hate socialists.  The word “Nazi” hides the actual name of the horrid party: the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.   The practice is so widespread that most people who use the word “Nazi” are ignorant of what the abbreviation abbreviates and why it ties into the pledge of allegiance and to earlier National Socialists in the USA. http://rexcurry.net/mediacover.html
and http://rexcurry.net/swastikamedia.html
and http://rexcurry.net/swastikaweb.html

Nazis always referred to themselves as "National Socialists" and never as "Nazis" and they always used the word "hakenkreuz" and not "swastika."

The "Swastika myth" is that the symbol of the Nazis was a swastika, and used as their "good luck" sign, or reversed for "evil."  

The use of the word "swastika" coincides with "Nazi" to hide the symbol's meaning for the horrid Party: Socialism and the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): 62 million dead under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 35 million under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million under the National Socialist German Workers' Party. 

Today, most people would never make the connection between the swastika's "S" shapes and "socialism" because most people do not know that the Nazis were the National Socialist German Workers' Party. http://rexcurry.net/swastikaweb.html

The trio of myths are examples of astounding historical facts that were deliberately shoved down Orwell's "memory hole."

Socialist-fascist laws
hide the evidence


A fan writes: I had another look at the extraordinary documents (pictures) of the Hakenkreuzes / Swastikas you present at http://rexcurry.net/swastikanews.html
You show some examples which indicate that at least for the leaders the connection between the flag and the other instances of "S" symbols is more than close, almost identical. But these were not to be seen where I could see them. I did not live in Germany, but in Nazi-occupied and integrated Luxembourg and only once visited Nürnberg where my father lived and worked at the time and stayed a couple days in the area and of course travelled there and back, through Stuttgart for instance and missed by half an hour to be killed in the bombardment of the Stuttgart main station. My father had some papers, but I do not remember then nor later having seen all of those you show. Regards, Chris B.

( note from RexCurry.net - the remarkable comment above suggests other reasons for ignorance about the "S" symbolism: laws that prevent people in many areas (including Germany) from seeing their own history in its symbols.  So, the people who might know the most about their historic symbols have been turned into the people who know the least, because "fascistic" laws ban Nazi symbols).

************************
Here is something unique that someone sent.  If it is true then it is remarkable.  RexCurry.net opposes all bans on all symbolism and does not endorse such laws in the EU or anywhere.

EU to ban
 USA’s pledge of allegiance?

BRUSSELS, Belgium – The recent EU proposal to ban Nazi symbols might include the USA’s pledge of allegiance.

EU Justice and Home Affairs Commissioner Franco Frattini has proposed a Europe-wide ban on display of Nazi symbols.  A group of European Union lawmakers called then for a ban on other symbols of oppression, including the red star and the hammer and sickle. Another new proposal bans the USA’s pledge of allegiance to its flag. 

“If we decide to ban one, we should decide to ban all of them,” said Jan Zahradil, a Czech member of the EU assembly.

“Most Americans are ignoramuses about their pledge as a Nazi symbol and that it was the origin of the straight-arm salute of the Nazis,” a spokesman said.

He added that the ban would not apply in the USA but only in the EU.

“The ban may not be necessary in that the USA’s pledge is a bizarre ritual that is already shunned by every other country.  We don’t want it to happen here,” He said “Or we don’t want it to happen here AGAIN.  It already happened once.”

Even in the USA some action was taken against the pledge in 1942, but only the original straight-arm salute was changed. 

“Many Europeans know more about the USA’s pledge than does the typical U.S. citizen.  That is because U.S. schools teach propaganda and never show historic photographs,” said Tomas Corbisier pointing to a web image search for the “original socialist salute.”

“The only reason the pledge continues in the USA is because the U.S. government hides the truth,” Corbisier added.

The USA’s pledge was created by Francis Bellamy, a self-proclaimed national socialist in the USA and an advocate of “military socialism.”  At that time government schools in the U.S. imposed segregation by law and taught racism as official government policy. It happened for three decades in the USA before the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazis) adopted the salute and similar behavior.

In the past, U.S. schools expelled and jailed people who refused to pledge until the U.S. Supreme Court enjoined the punishments. “But there are many people who disagree with the court decision and there are many laws that require teachers to try to lead a daily robotic chant of the pledge in military formation like Pavlov’s lapdogs of the state,” he added.

SOCIALISM'S SICK SWASTIKA SECRETS

ARE YOU VULGUS PROFANUM?

The following is from the book “Swastika the earliest known symbol and its migrations” by Thomas Wilson and published in 1894 (at page 771)  -

“Dr. Schliemann found many specimens of Swastika in his excavations at the site of ancient Troy on the hill of Hissarlik.  They were mostly on spindle whorls, and will be described in due course.  He appealed to Prof. Max Muller for an explanation, who, in reply, wrote an elaborate description, which Dr. Schliemann published in ‘Ilios.’

He commences with a protest against the word Swastika being applied generally to the sign Swastika, because it may prejudice the reader or the public in favor of its Indian origin.  He says:

‘I do not like the use of the word svastika outside of India.  It is a word of Indian origin and has its history and definite meaning in India. * * * The occurrence of such crosses in different parts of the world may or may not point to a common origin, but if they are once called Svastika the vulgus profanum will at once jump to the conclusion that they all come from India, and it will take some time to weed out such prejudice.’ ”

Muller's prediction was amazingly accurate, and he labeled so many people in the world today as "vulgus profanum." 

Translators changed “hakenkreuz” to “swastika.” Who was the first bad translator and why did others repeat the misrepresentation?  This website is researching.

"Swastika" translators might have wanted the National Socialist German Workers' Party to stain a foreign symbol rather than their own.  "Hakenkreuz" is a reference to a cross. http://rexcurry.net/swastikacross.html

The cross reference might have been a reminder that in ancient times it was for torture and execution.  The Nazi Hakenkreuz was used in the persecution of people for various reasons, including religious differences. It came to represent the socialist sins of the Nazis.

The Nazi Hackenkreuz  combined the German-Prussian Iron Cross (Ritterkreuz -"rider cross" or "Knight's Cross") with the pre-Nazi Hackenkreuz to form new overlapping "S" shapes for the "socialist" dogma of the horrid National Socialists.

Interest in the swastika / hakenkreuz grew when the ruins of ancient Troy were uncovered by German archaeologists in the mid-19th century. An ominous parallel is that interest in reviving the Olympic games  grew also when the ruins of ancient Olympia were uncovered by German archaeologists in the mid-19th century.  http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html   

The modern Olympics used a straight-arm salute similar to the salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, and both were derived from the USA's pledge of allegiance and military salute as written by a national socialist in the USA, a discovery made at  http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html

*****************

The USA's chief National Socialist was Edward Bellamy, a fan of the Prussian military and its educational system.  The Prussian system was Bellamy's blueprint for "military socialism" that he espoused three decades before the Nazis.  His book "Looking Backward 2000-1887" was an international bestseller in 1888 and in its German translation.

Bellamy spent a year in Dresden (1868-9), learning to speak and write German and attending lectures. His stay occurred shortly after the war between Prussia and Austria.  Saxony, of which Dresden was the capital, had sided with Austria, had been conquered by Prussia, and then had joined the North German Federation.  While Bellamy was there the German Workers' Party issued its program of socialist cliches that Bellamy repeated in his bestseller and for the rest of his life.  Who influenced who the most?

Edward Bellamy was cousin and cohort to Francis Bellamy, creator of the straight-arm salute of the pledge of allegiance.  Both Bellamys were leaders in the "Society of Christian Socialists" that called its dogma "Christian Socialism" in the USA.  

Prussia led to the formation of the German empire, and after World War I, Prussia continued to exist as the largest Land (state) within the Weimar Republic and under the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.  After World War II it was dissolved by decree of the Allied Control Council in 1947.

Each time anyone uses the word “swastika” in regard to Nazism, he repeats a lie designed to cover-up for socialism and for the symbol’s meaning in the Nazi Party.  He reinforces the swastika myth.  He also slanders the swastika.  As the Asian News headline said "Save our Swastika."

Nazis wanted the hakenkreuz  to represent overlapping "S" shapes symbolizing "socialism" and that is why it was chosen and maintained by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.
http://rexcurry.net/swastikanews.html

The hakenkreuz was related to the exclamation "Sieg Heil!" (Hail to Victory) in that the symbol meant "Victory to Socialism"  or "Hail to Socialist Victory" in the words of the monstrous leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party in his original words in his book "Mein Kampf" (more below).

THE TRIO OF MYTHS

The swastika myth is one of a trio of socialist myths. Three terms are commonly used to cover up socialist horrors: “Swastika” and “Nazi” and “Roman Salute.”  RexCurry.net exposed the swastika myth, after exposing the “Roman salute” myth. 

The salute myth held that the Nazi salute was from ancient Rome.  The myth was refuted by the historic discovery that the salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis) came from a socialist in the USA who used the military salute as part of the original pledge of allegiance. http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html

RexCurry.net also exposed the “Nazi” cover-up.  Many people use the word “Nazi” to cover-up for socialism by hiding the actual name of the horrid party: the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.   The practice is so widespread that most people who use the word “Nazi” are ignorant of what the abbreviation abbreviates.  http://rexcurry.net/mediacover.html
and http://rexcurry.net/swastikamedia.html
and http://rexcurry.net/swastikaweb.html

Nazis always referred to themselves as "National Socialists" and never as "Nazis" and they always used the word "hakenkreuz" and not "swastika."

The hakenkreuz symbolism was suppressed for the same reason that the word "Nazi" was obscured by socialists to hide its meaning: Socialism. 

Today, most people would never make the connection between the swastika's "S" shapes and "socialism" because most people do not know that the Nazis were the National Socialist German Workers' Party. http://rexcurry.net/swastikaweb.html

The ignorance is being combatted by the “Not Say Nazi” movement among people who always use the full name of the party, and who eschew the overused shorthand. http://rexcurry.net/swastikastop.html

It has also led to the "Not Say Swastika" movement among people who substitute the word "hakenkreuz" or "hooked cross" to combat ignorance and the mistranslation.

The cover-up hid the role of American socialists who promoted the straight-arm salute inside the USA in 1892 in the original pledge of allegiance to the flag (the origin of the Nazi salute), daily robotic pledges of allegiance in military formation, socialized schools, military socialism within government schools, and the creation of "industrial armies" (a Bellamy phrase). http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html

Societal amnesia about the swastika was caused by socialists to cover-up the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was part): 62 million slaughtered by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 35 million by the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million by the National Socialist German Workers' Party.  Most people are ignorant of the fact that the death toll of the National Socialist German Workers' Party was exceeded twice, and also by other socialists. http://rexcurry.net/nazi-ussr.html

The amnesia worsened because, even though the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was allied with the National Socialist German Workers' Party in 1939 upon both parties' invasion of Poland in WWII (in a written pact to divide up Europe), the two socialist groups broke and the USA became allied with the most murderous government of all time, the USSR.  The lies changed and the USSR was suddenly "a good socialist ally" and the National Socialist German Workers' Party was exclusively "bad Nazis" and never referred to by its socialist name and its once-obvious socialist swastika symbolism.

The National Socialist German Workers’ Party began in 1920 (with electoral breakthroughs in 1930 and dictatorship in 1933) and ended in 1945.  

No one disputes that the swastika is a symbol of socialism in that it is a symbol of the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

Modern socialists make absurd arguments that for 25 years no one in the National Socialist German Workers' Party ever noticed the swastika's "S" shapes nor attached any meaning to them, even though the Party was known for fanaticism about its own terms, symbols, and mythology.

The absurdity of the socialist argument is shown by other double-S symbols of National Socialists. The double "S" is used side-by-side as a symbol of the "SS" division of the National Socialist German Workers' Party and for other words beginning with the letter "S" (see graphic illustrations).  

Anyone who asks "How is it shown that the hakenkreuz is overlapping 'S' shapes for alphabetic symbolism for the National Socialist German Workers Party?" should be asked "How is it shown that the side-by-side 'S' shapes are alphabetic symbolism for the SS Divison (Schutzstaffel)?"  The explanation is similar.

The "lightning-bolt" symbols are also known as "sig runes" (a letter of an ancient Germanic alphabet shown below) which was used as a letter "S."   The swastika is a double sig rune, but it is overlapping and not side-by-side (as in the "SS" division). 

An internet image search for "double sig rune" or "sig rune" or "sieg rune" or "sowilo" provides more examples.

Additional support comes from John Toland’s lengthy book “Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography.”  Toland asserts that when the leader of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party adopted the swastika, it was already in use as a symbol for another socialist group, a fact known by Hitler when selecting the swastika.  Based on Toland's book and other sources, there is no reason to believe that the leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party was even aware of any meaning for the swastika other than as a symbol of an existing socialist group.  There is no evidence anywhere that he was aware of any sanskrit origin or meaning for the swastika.   That angle is all built on myth.

Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, one of the reasons that it was chosen and/or maintained
by the National Socialist German Workers' Party is because it resembles two "S" letters for "Socialism." It also was used in graphic art as an "N" letter overlapping an "S" letter for "National Socialist."

It started in 1919, when Hitler joined the German Workers' Party, a socialist group. The group sought a new name that would attract socialists in other groups.  Other German socialist groups used terms like “National” and “Socialist” in their titles, and the German Workers' Party adopted “National Socialist German Workers’ Party.”

The swastika acquired the same meaning as the group's new name. Graphic art illustrates the symbolism at http://rexcurry.net/swastika-union.html   It symbolized socialists joining together as the National Socialist German Workers' Party.  The intertwined letter “S” shapes represent “Socialists” unified, or "Socialist Solidarity" and the victory of the National Socialist German Workers' Party bringing socialists together in one large group.  

A fan of RexCurry.net writes "....the sieg rune is an ancient symbol of victory that Hitler stole from scandinavian mythology to symbolize the victory of the NSDAP  (the National Socialistiche Deutsche Arbeiter Partei ). The word 'Sieg' literally means 'victory' in German. (or segerruna as it's called in Swedish)."  

And the sieg rune also corresponds with the  letter 's' in the ancient alphabet.  That provides more support for the swastika as overlapping "S" letters for  "Socialistiche" (Socialist) and "Sieg" (victory).

The choice is still clouded in mystery because the only thing Hitler ever said concerning the swastika was in 1920, when he decided that the National Socialist German Workers' Party needed its own insignia. For Hitler, the new flag had to be "a symbol of our own struggle" as well as "highly effective as a poster." (Mein Kampf, Chapter 7 of the 2nd volume, sometimes pg. 495).  On August 7, 1920, at the Salzburg Congress, this flag became the official emblem of the horrid party.

Hitler never referred to the swastika as an ancient good-luck swastika symbol, nor let on that he even possessed such knowledge.  The symbol is never even referred to as a "swastika" but as a "Hakenkreuz" (hooked cross).  Socialists have covered-up for the National Socialist German Workers' Party by always using the term "swastika" when discussing a symbol that was always referred to as a "hakenkreuz" by National Socialists.  The misleading term "swastika" created the myth that National Socialists used the symbol because it was an ancient symbol for good luck.
 

Socialism's swastika
Stop the Socialist German Workers Swastika
Swastika Deconstructed.

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 lightning-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).

One argument claims that the swastika was chosen due to German myths or confusion about Indo-Aryan or Indo-Iranian heritage.  There is no support for that argument.  But if that argument is correct then it supports the double-S for "socialism."  If Nazis used the swastika to claim an Indo-Aryan heritage, then they saw that heritage evidenced in ancient Germanic runes for the letter "S" and for their support of socialism.

As an even earlier symbol in Sanskrit, the swastika means "all is all" which eerily supports a symbol for totalitarian socialism.

The swastika has also been interpreted as "good luck," or literally "it is good" (Sanskrit is the oldest extant Indo-Aryan language retained in India) and that fit the National Socialist view of merging all socialist groups into one large organization.

In ancient times, the symbol might have also represented the sun or a wheel, thus giving rise to the modern terms "socialist sun" and "wheel of socialism" and the "circle of socialism" for the swastika of socialism. 

If the swastika had any "Aryan" etymology to Nazis it was in the dictionary's second meaning: "noble" or "high rank." They used it to mean a "master race" or "noble class" or "ruling class."  That ties into the swastika as a "superman" emblem for the cockamamy "super socialist man."  That utopian totalitarianism is consistent with the book "Looking Backward" by Bellamy and with other totalitarian socialist societies: the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (~60 million dead) and the Peoples' Republic of China (~50 million dead).

For National Socialists, "Aryan" meant the people they liked or, in other words, the people that they didn't hate.

Additional support comes from John Toland’s lengthy book “Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography.”  On page 86 Toland writes “Drexler [Anton Drexler] suggested calling their group the German Socialist Party (the same name of a similarly motivated party founded a year earlier [1916?] in Bohemia [Czeckoslovakia], whose emblem incidentally, was the swastika). 

Toland asserts that when the leader of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party adopted the swastika, it was already in use as a symbol for a socialist group, a fact known by Hitler when selecting the symbol. 

Toland provides no footnote or reference for his claim, and it is unfortunate that Toland died in 2004 and cannot be asked for details about the earlier Party’s use of the swastika.

On page 105 Toland writes "Finally, a dentist from Starnberg submitted a flag which had been used at the foundiing meeting of his own party local: a swastika against a black-white-red background."

Another entry in Toland’s book (p 183) makes reference to Hans Knirsch, founder of the National Socialist Workers Party in Czeckoslovakia also known as the Sudetendeutsche National Sozialistische Partei or Sudeten-German National Socialist Party.

If the swastika was a symbol of the Sudetendeutsche National Sozialistische Partei, then it provides another interpretation for the swastika's two overlapping "S" letters: "Sudeten Socialism" or even "Southern Socialism."  The word "Sudeten" came to mean "Southern" for many Germans, even though the original etymology is unclear.

The German Army marched into the Sudetenland on 1st October, 1938. Before that date (on 29th September, 1938), Adolf Hitler, Neville Chamberlain, Edouard Daladier and Benito Mussolini signed the Munich Agreement which transferred the Sudetenland to Germany.  When Eduard Benes, Czechoslovakia's head of state, protested at this decision, Neville Chamberlain told him that Britain would be unwilling to go to war over the issue of the Sudetenland.  Neville Chamberlain and Edouard Daladier agreed that Germany could have the Sudetenland because they were desperate to avoid war, and anxious to avoid an alliance with Joseph Stalin and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.  In return, Hitler promised not to make any further territorial demands in Europe.

On August 23, 1939, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics formed an alliance with the National Socialist German Workers' Party to invade Poland and divide up Europe.  The National Socialist German Workers’ Party invaded Poland first (Sept. 1, 1939), followed shortly thereafter (Sept. 17) by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.  In that partnership, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics slaughtered more people in Poland than did the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

The written partnership partitioned not only Poland (along the line of the Vistula) but much of Eastern Europe. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics took Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Bessarabia; the National Socialist German Workers’ Party took everything to the West of these regions, including Lithuania. Each was to ask the other no questions about the disposition of its own ''sphere of interest." This alliance was coupled with a trade treaty and arrangements for large-scale exchange of raw materials and armaments.

On September 28, 1939 the Boundary and Friendship Treaty between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the National Socialist German Workers Party was supplemented by secret protocols to amend the secret protocols of Aug 23rd. Among other things Lithuania was reassigned to the Soviet sphere of influence. Poland’s partition line was moved eastwards from the Vistula line to the line of the Bug. Germany kept a small part of south-west Lithuania, the Uznemune region. A separate Soviet mutual defense pact was signed with Estonia that allowed 25,000 Soviet troops to be stationed there.

The origin of the National Socialist GermanWorkers Party involved Hans Knirsch (September 14, 1877 - December 6, 1933), a Moravian activist for Austrian National Socialism.  After the breakup of the Austrian Hungarian Empire, Knirsch led the original mother party in Czechoslovakia, at that time in Bohemia called the Sudeten German National Socialist Party. Knirsch, with Rudolf Jung and Hans Krebs, was one of the original core of National Socialists that remained in the National Socialist German Workers’ Party after 1933.

The Sudetendeutsche Nationalsozialistische Partei or Sudeten-German National Socialist Party was created when the new state of Czechoslovakia outlawed the DNSAP, the "German National Socialist Workers Party". At the end of WWI, the Austro-Hungarian Empire broke up into its particular nation states and the new Czech dominated government considered the Pan-German party to be offensive. The Sudeten Germans created the German Workers Parties (DAP's) that developed under the old empire in Bohemia and Moravia and they originated Austrian National Socialism. Hans Knirsch was their leader from 1918 to 1933, when he was succeeded by Konrad Henlein.

Knirsch was involved with Franko Stein of Eger (Cheb) and Ludwig Vogel of Brüx, who organized the Deutschnationaler Arbeiterbund (German National Workers' League) in 1893. In 1899, Stein was able to convene a workers' congress in Eger and promulgated a 25-point program.  In Aussig, on November 15, 1903, they reorganized with the new name of "Deutsche Arbeiterpartei in Österreich" (DAP) - the "German Workers' Party in Austria."  At other party congresses, Hans Knirsch also proposed a name change to "Nationalsozialistische" (National-Socialist) or "Deutsch" (German) Workers' Party.  Thus, before WWI, Knirsch was unsuccessful in getting the DAP to add the words "National Socialist" to their name.

The National Socialist Program (also known as the 25-point program) was copied later by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. It was first formulated in Vienna, at a German Workers’ Party congress, and was brought to Munich by Rudolf Jung, who was deported from Czechoslovakia.  Josef Pfitzner, a Sudetenland author, stated "the synthesis of the two great dynamic powers of the century, of the socialist and national idea, had been perfected in the German borderlands [i.e. Sudetenland] which thus were far ahead of their motherland."

Czeckoslovakia and Austria did not exist as separate countries when the program was written. They existed under the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The programs of the Sudetenland and Austrian National Socialists developed under the Habsburg monarchy, in a single country at that time. Different German worker parties developed in Vienna, Aussig, and Eger. Hitler and many of his cohorts were not involved in the creation of the original National Socialist programs.

Toland also notes that the swastika was long a symbol of the Teutonic Knights and had been used by Lanz Von Liebenfels, the Thule Society and a number of Free Corps units before it took on it socialist symbolism.

Anton Drexler (June 13, 1884 - February 24, 1942) was a Munich locksmith and member of the völkisch agitators who, together with journalist Karl Harrer, founded the German Workers' Party (DAP) in 1919.  The name of the party was changed to the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) early in 1920.  Drexler was also a member of a völkisch political club for affluent members of Munich society known as the Thule Society.
 
The Germanenorden was a group in Germany early in the 20th century. Formed in 1912, the order, whose symbol was a swastika. It taught to its initiates socialist ideologies. Some people theorize that the Deutsche Arbeiter-Partei (later the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazis)) became a political front for the group, because the group reflected many ideas of the party, including the swastika symbol. The Thule Society had similar ideas and symbols and was closely linked.

*******************************

    Aryan is an English word derived from Sanskrit term “arya,” meaning “high rank” (adj.), "noble" (n) + an.  The word “swastika” is also from Sanskrit.  It refers to a speaker of the languages ancestral to the Indo-Aryan or the Indo-Iranian languages. The term “Iranian” is related to the word “Aryan.”  Imagine the word "Aryan" as "Aran" to see the similarity to "Iran" (Persia).
    Aryan is an adjective to the root *ar-, originally meaning 'to assemble', possibly with positive overtones of "accomplished, skillful". *aryo- as the name of a people, the "Aryans", is only attested in India and Persia, but the root is well known from other languages in the Indo-European world, e.g. the aristoi, the "most noble," of Greece, (cf. Aristotle, aristocracy, aristocrat) and possibly Éire, the Irish name of Ireland (although this is not commonly accepted). The original meaning of the root, pertaining to skillful assembly, union, confederacy, may be perceived, for example in Latin ars "art" and ordo "order" or in Greek harma "chariot".  Also see “arch” a combining form used to create nouns that denote individuals or institutions directing or having authority over others of their class (archbishop; archdiocese; archangel); also meaning “principal” (archenemy, archrival) or “prototypical” and thus exemplary or extreme (archconservative), also compare architect, archetype.

The leader of the National Socialist GermanWorkers Party had this to say about the swastika (in Mein Kampf):

"I myself was always for keeping the old colours, not only because I, as a soldier, regarded them as my most sacred possession, but because in their aesthetic effect, they conformed more than anything else to my personal taste. Accordingly I had to discard all the innumerable suggestions and designs which had been proposed for the new movement, among which were many that had incorporated the swastika into the old colours. I, as leader, was unwilling to make public my own design, as it was possible that someone else could come forward with a design just as good, if not better, than my own. As a matter of fact, 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.

After innumerable trials I decided upon a final form – a flag of red material with a white disc bearing in its centre a black swastika. After many trials I obtained the correct proportions between the dimensions of the flag and of the white central disc, as well as that of the swastika. And this is how it has remained ever since.

At the same time we immediately ordered the corresponding armlets for our squad of men who kept order at meetings, armlets of red material, a central white disc with the black swastika upon it. Herr Füss, a Munich goldsmith, supplied the first practical and permanent design.

The new flag appeared in public in the midsummer of 1920. It suited our movement admirably, both being new and young. Not a soul had seen this flag before; its effect at that time was something akin to that of a blazing torch. We ourselves experienced almost a boyish delight when one of the ladies of the party who had been entrusted with the making of the flag finally handed it over to us. And a few months later those of us in Munich were in possession of six of these flags. The steadily increasing strength of our hall guards was a main factor in popularizing the symbol.

And indeed a symbol it proved to be.

Not only because it incorporated those revered colours expressive of our homage to the glorious past and which once brought so much honour to the German nation, but this symbol was also an eloquent expression of the will behind the movement. We National Socialists regarded our flag as being the embodiment of our party programme. The red expressed the social thought underlying the movement. White the national thought. And the swastika signified the mission allotted to us – the struggle for the victory of Aryan mankind and at the same time the triumph of the ideal of creative work......

Two years later, when our squad of hall guards had long since grown into storm detachments, it seemed necessary to give this defensive organization of a young Weltanschhauung a particular symbol of victory, namely a Standard. I also designed this and entrusted the execution of it to an old party comrade, Herr Gahr, who was a goldsmith. Ever since that time this Standard has been the distinctive token of the National Socialist struggle.

The above in the German language of Mein Kampf
{556 Die nationalsozialistische Flagge}

Entwurf an die Öffentlichkeit treten, da es ja möglich war, daß ein anderer einen ebenso guten oder vielleicht auch besseren bringen würde. Tatsächlich hat ein Zahnarzt aus Starnberg auch einen gar nicht schlechten Entwurf geliefert, der übrigens dem meinen ziemlich nahekam, nur den einen Fehler hatte, daß das Hakenkreuz mit gebogenen Haken in eine weiße Scheibe hineinkomponiert war.

Ich selbst hatte unterdes nach unzähligen Versuchen eine endgültige Form niedergelegt: eine Fahne aus rotem Grundtuch mit einer weißen Scheibe und in deren Mitte ein schwarzes Hakenkreuz. Nach langen Versuchen fand ich auch ein bestimmtes Verhältnis zwischen der Größe der Fahne und der Größe der weißen Scheibe sowie der Form und Stärke des Hakenkreuzes.

Und dabei ist es dann geblieben.

In gleichem Sinne wurden nun sofort Armbinden für die Ordnungsmannschaften in Auftrag gegeben, und zwar eine rote Binde, auf der sich ebenfalls die weiße Scheibe mit schwarzem Hakenkreuz befindet.

Auch das Parteiabzeichen wurde nach gleichen Richtlinien entworfen: eine weiße Scheibe auf rotem Felde und in der Mitte das Hakenkreuz. Ein Münchner Goldschmied, Füß, lieferte den ersten verwendbaren und dann auch beibehaltenen Entwurf.

Im Hochsommer 1920 kam zum ersten Male die neue Flagge vor die Öffentlichkeit. Sie paßte vorzüglich zu unserer jungen Bewegung. So wie diese jung und neu war, war sie es auch. Kein Mensch hatte sie vorher je gesehen; sie wirkte damals wie eine Brandfackel. Wir selber empfanden alle eine fast kindliche Freude, als eine treue Parteigenossin den Entwurf zum ersten Male ausgeführt und die Fahne abgeliefert hatte. Schon einige Monate später besaßen wir in München ein halbes Dutzend davon, und die immer mehr und mehr um sich greifende Ordnertruppe besonders trug dazu bei, das neue Symbol der Bewegung zu verbreiten.

Und ein Symbol ist dies wahrlich! Nicht nur, daß durch die einzigen, von uns allen heißgeliebten Farben,

{557 Deutung des nationalsozialistischen Symbols}

die einst dem deutschen Volke soviel Ehre errungen hatten, unsere Ehrfurcht vor der Vergangenheit bezeugt wird, sie war auch die beste Verkörperung des Wollens der Bewegung. Als nationale Sozialisten sehen wir in unserer Flagge unser Programm. Im Rot sehen wir den sozialen Gedanken der Bewegung, im Weiß den nationalistischen, im Hakenkreuz die Mission des Kampfes für den Sieg des arischen Menschen und zugleich mit ihm auch den Sieg des Gedankens der schaffenden Arbeit, die selbst ewig antisemitisch war und antisemitisch sein wird.

Zwei Jahre später, als aus der Ordnertruppe schon längst eine viel tausend Mann umfassende Sturmabteilung geworden war, schien es nötig, dieser Wehrorganisation der jungen Weltanschauung noch ein besonderes Symbol des Sieges zu geben: die Standarte. Auch sie habe ich selbst entworfen und dann einem alten, treuen Parteigenossen, dem Goldschmiedmeister Gahr, zur Ausführung übergeben. Seitdem gehört die Standarte zu den Wahr- und Feldzeichen des nationalsozialistischen Kampfes.

FASCISTS BAN NAZI SYMBOLS?
EU socialists-fascists would ban
 socialist symbols including
Nazi symbols.

Modern Hitlers ban Nazi Symbols?

A libertarian website scooped the news again after comparing a ban of the swastika to the USSR's hammer & sickle and China's red star http://rexcurry.net/swastikanews.html (and after distributing internationally the article in the middle). World news reports that a ban of all socialist symbols might be adopted. RexCurry.net opposes any ban of any sybolism and supports repeal of existing bans everywhere.  However, the news came two weeks after RexCurry.net stated: "The hammer and sickle symbol has not been banned, although the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics slaughtered 62 million people.  The red star has not been banned although socialists in the Peoples’ Republic of China slaughtered 35 million people. They both greatly exceeded the number slaughtered by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party."

BRUSSELS, Belgium --A group of conservative European Union lawmakers from eastern Europe called Thursday for a ban on socialist symbols, including the red star and the hammer and sickle, to match a proposed EU ban on the swastika of the
National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis).

The group from Estonia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic said the socialist symbols should be included in any ban because of the suffering caused by regimes backed by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in eastern Europe.

"We would like to have an equal treatment of the other evil totalitarian regimes of the socialist system," said a member of the European Parliament.

EU Justice and Home Affairs Commissioner Franco Frattini has proposed a Europe-wide ban on display of the socialist swastikas and other symbols of the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

"If we decide to ban one, we should decide to ban all of them," said Jan Zahradil, a Czech member of the EU assembly.

Frattini's spokesman, Friso Roscam Abbing, said the EU head office was not at this time pushing for a similar ban on socialist symbols.

"He is completely aware of the pain this (socialist rule) has caused," Roscam Abbing said. But including the hammer and sickle http://rexcurry.net/swastika4.gif
alongside the swastika "might not be appropriate" under the rules being negotiated, he said.

"It warrants further political debate," he said.

Justice and interior ministers from the 25 EU nations will discuss the banning of symbols of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis) at a meeting this month. The proposals need agreement from all EU governments.

Former Lithuanian President Vytautas Landsbergis, who led his country out of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, said the hammer and sickle was also a symbol of oppression.

"It was a fake symbol of unity of workers and farmers," he said.

Last week's commemorations marking the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz  concentration camp highlighted the growing problem of the National Socialist German Workers' Party dogma in Europe.

Also, pictures showing Britain's Prince Harry wearing a socialist swastika armband at a costume party last month added to EU calls to ban all  symbols across Europe of the National Socialist German Workers' Party.  

******************
Members of the European Parliament from Eastern Europe called for a ban on Socialist  symbols like the hammer and sickle on Thursday if the European Union decides to outlaw symbols of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis) like the swastika.

Lawmakers from the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania and Slovakia said any ban should also cover other Socialist symbols, because of killings and torture suffered by people in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or countries under its domination.

The deputies wrote to the EU justice, freedom and security commissioner, Franco Frattini, to press their demand.

EU justice and interior ministers are to discuss a possible ban on symbols of the National Socialist German Workers' Party in the light of a recent scandal over Prince Harry of Britain wearing a socialist swastika at a costume party, as part of proposed rules across the 25-nation bloc.

Frattini's spokesman said it would not be appropriate to include symbols of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in the ban because some are still used by legal Socialist parties in the West.

SOCIALISTS TO 'REDEEM'
THEIR SWASTIKA

Here is something odd that was sent in:
 
Socialists worldwide have launched a campaign to "redeem" the swastika from its Nazi past and reclaim it as the symbol of life, fortune and socialism that they say it once was. http://rexcurry.net/swastikanews.html

A 5,000-year-old symbol that has been used for centuries by Hindus, Buddhists and many other traditions to denote good luck, the swastika was used by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazis) and has come to symbolize hate, anti-Semitism, violence, death and murder because of the National Socialist atrocities.  http://rexcurry.net/swastikamain.html

A socialist spokesman asked "How can a world filled with socialist sympathies and inclinations be offended by seeing the symbol of its own basic political thinking? Sure, the National Socialist German Workers’ Party did many things that were objectionable.  But they also did many things that are acceptable to socialists and now to the mainstream.  How can anyone who supports the philosophic premises of socialism be outraged by the globally-recognized symbol of it?" http://rexcurry.net/mediacoverup.html

Nazi symbols including the swastika are banned in Germany.

In comparison the hammer and sickle have not been banned, although the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics slaughtered 62 million people, about triple the number slaughtered by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.  In comparison the red star has not been banned though the socialists in the Peoples’ Republic of China slaughtered 35 million people, about double the number slaughtered by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. 

“The campaign, announced today, comes after politicians called for wider ban on the symbol after recent controversies involving the symbol,” a spokesman said.

The right-facing version of the swastika was used by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party because it highlighted the swastika’s overlapping “S” shape, the first letter in the word “socialism” to symbolize socialist groups coming together in one large party.

That was the version adopted by the Nazi Party in 1920 at Salzburg. It is thought that Allied wartime propaganda is responsible for the false belief that at Hitler's insistence the swastika was later reversed to the left-facing version, meaning "death" in Hindu mythology.

Socialists wish to continue to use this symbol as part of their agenda, but they risk being labeled a member of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party or, in the case of a ban, risk breaking the law. "We need to educate people about the historical context of the symbol, its wrong use by the Nazis and its importance to other socialists and to Hindus," a socialist spokesman said.

In other unrelated articles it was reported that Ramesh Kallidai, of the Hindu Forum, is planning pro-swastika awareness workshops for every region of Britain with a large seminar in London to redeem the swastika as an ancient Hindu good luck symbol. “Every member of parliament is to be lobbied by e-mail and an information booklet will be distributed to faith communities and others,” The London Times said.

"A symbol we have used for more than 5,000 years is now on the verge of being banned because of association with the Nazis over which we had no control," the article quoted Kallidai as saying.

EU WILL BAN NEW TECHNOLOGY?

Another example of how the the pettiest socialism causes unintended consequeces of  poverty and suffering because it destroys progress and innovation, in every field including healthcare and even optics.

Just a month after a call for a European-wide ban of the swastika, scientists have found that the symbol has new applications in optical communications and could have a role in quantum cryptography.

Dr Darren Bagnall from the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton has found that he can arrange tens of thousands of gold swastikas on a square millimetre to form new optical metamaterials that act to artificially change the polarisation of light, effectively “twisting” light in accordance with the rotation of the swastikas. By changing the degree of twist in a predictable way the chiral metamaterials can provide an alternative way to code information that is being transmitted using light.

According to Dr Bagnall, it is the special arrangement and squareness of the swastika which makes it the ideal geometry for their experiments. He comments: "The swastika has a number of special features, it is entirely made up of vertical and horizontal straight lines and it is square but can still provide the feeling of left-handed or right-handed rotation known as chirality. It is this chirality which causes our swastikas to twist light."

SANSKRIT

Sanskrit spread from northern India across the sub-continent, largely on the back of Hinduism, and then - though no one quite knows how - to southeast Asia. Codified 2,500 years ago and barely changed since, this was a language that took great pleasure in its own beauty, which was intimately bound up with an Indian worldview, but which was ultimately to ossify to such an extent that today, although still an official language of India, it is spoken by fewer than 200,000 people.
