The Hakenkreuz
or
Swastika as it is better known was the Pagan Germanic symbol of the God
of Thunder known as Donnor or Thor. The Hakenkreuz represnts Thor's
hammer.
The
Swastika/Hakencruez became the very symbol of all things pertaining to
Hitler's National Socialism, and was used in the design of all sorts of
pins, armbands, flags, etc.
The
symbol predates Christianity by at least 1,000
years. In Theosphy and Arionosphy , and other such groups, it is the
very symbol of the Aryan
race, which is why Hitler chose it. It is also a religious symbol of
Hindus, Jainists, and
Buddhists, but is not a Christian symbol.

It's a variation of the Swastika. It too is a Pagan symbol that
predates Christianity. |
