  7. The Swastika was a symbol used by many ancient civilizations around the world including American Indians before Hilter adopted it for the Nazi Party.

    Back then, the "Galloping Gooses" were a more feared group than the "Angels"

    I did think you meant it as a joke yes, And yes the Native symbol was reversed infact I think Hitler reversed the earlier version as the symbol to use as his swastika and to be honest I couldn't tell which was which side by side now but I could tell them apart on sight at one time.I didn't mean to be a wise ass or anything but I have german relatives and the "history lesson" was intended more as for the younger generations that aren't even learning this history or learning some messed up history. I can't tell you how many times my daughter in law has been asked if she is a NAZI! She is mid 20s and was born in Georgia!

    Leon, thanks, man, for the post.;) You are indeed right that ONE of THE most worthwhile and worthy things we do on this thread is supplying historical info and commentary that dramatically increases the value of the whole thread. In other words, it ain't just a picture show. I honestly feel that this is one reason the thread is SO popular -- and to a pretty broad audience.:D Look at the star rating and the page, post and view counts. Wow.:)

    To that end, before we leave the swastika (a Sanskrit term) topic for posterity, here's a site that -- on one detailed page -- explains the complexity of the origins of this symbol and, more importantly, dispels a lot of myth! :rolleyes: The symbol was in wide popular use (a real plethora, not limited to the Spirit of St. Louis:cool:, the U.S. Boeing P-12 plane:cool:, Boy Scout troops and girls' clubs, on and on), until Hitler appropriated it :mad: in 1932 as the Nazi Party symbol (and, no, folks, he didn't steal it from the American Indian but from the Mideast or Far East). Hitler's BS was pretty typical of Hitler's general behavior. Ha, ha. But it also performed a disservice to every other culture that revered it as a symbol of positive (even mystic, religious, lucky, etc.) themes. To display it in ANY manner today in the West is to invite ridicule or even attack. That's is a damn shame, brought on by a racist madman bent on revenge for Germany's loss and economic impacts of the Treaty of Versailles.

    The ridiculous business about a "Georgia-born Nazi" is, perhaps, an example of informational perversion at its worst.:rolleyes: I'd chuckle, except it isn't funny in the least.:( Hundreds of thousands of Americans with some German heritage fought the Hun in WWI and fought Hitler in WWII. So, merely having German-sounding name is no excuse for anyone today to draw insulting generalizations. What a world!

    Here's that informative link. Thanks again for what turned out to be an air-clearing discussion:

    Well, I didn't want to get off on a tangent. But I resent that a stupid, bloody, racist dictator -- dead 67 years -- still has something of a grip on a positive symbol that had existed, in many far-flung cultures, for many centuries. Old Adoph was put in his proper place. Maybe it's about time we TAKE BACK the swastika and restore it to its proper place of honor.

    The stubborn people of Swastika, Ontario, never did give in to Hitler.;) They would NOT allow ANYONE to take away their identity. And I don't give a rat's posterior what neo-nazis, wanna-be nazis or any other self-appointed nazis care to do. They're not the boss-O-me, and I don't need no thought-control. :D

    Every time I go through that tunnel, and the others on the PA Turnpike, I try to imagine what an effort it had to have been build back in that time period. Mind boggling.
