Nazism: Why is the symbol of Swastika adopted by Hitler slightly inverted?
I have a question about Nazi symbolism. Why did Hitler adopt the Swastika symbol, and why did he slightly invert it compared to its original orientation?
The Swastika was adopted by Hitler as a symbol of Aryan purity and power. As for the inversion, it is believed that Hitler wanted to differentiate the Nazi swastika from the traditional and peaceful use of the symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism.
