Accept the truth, comrade

and notice, that the swastika is standing on one side and is made of two "mirror-s's" - contrary to the finnish (mirror of this swastika) and the nazi one (tilted 45 degrees)

Silly tassadar...

The swastika was the symbol of finnish air forces (blue swastika) , and it was also used in some tanks (black swastika) during ww2.

I thought you knew that...

And the swastika originally came from some airplanes finland got in 1917 from a swedish baron (?) who had printed the heraldic symbol of his family (swastika) to the plane...

so, should we blame the swedes then?

quote:
This photo was taken on November 14, 2000. The 60 x 60 meter swastika consisted of Larch trees in a Pine forest near the village of Zernikow (110 km Northeast of Berlin). It was only visible from the air a few weeks in the Spring and a few weeks in the Fall when Larch trees stood out in contract to the surrounding Pine trees.

These trees were planted in the 1930's by a local resident during Nazi times. They were largely forgotten until after the German reunification in 1992 when planes once again flew over the area.

Local forestry officials cut down 25 of the Larch trees after this photo appeared in several German tabloids. Swastikas are mostly outlawed in Germany.. Coins and stamps are exempt from the ban.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

As has been pointed out, the swastik is a holy hindu symbol, and is used to purify a place of evil.

My wife (who is Indian) brought some letter holders back with swastik's on, and placed them right next to the door, so everytime I opened the door to sales people, you should have seen their faces .. it was the first thing you saw as you entered the house ..

Oddly enough, no .. they never returned ???

Why are they removing it? There is probably a legitimate use for them in someone's documents. Say, if you were a historian.

the mirror image of the swastika used by nazis has been used by asians in buddhist temples for ages. it has something to do with the sun and its rising rays, iirc.

Tired of ads?

maybe it's about time the whole world gave the spiked cross themeaning it held for milenia, rather for some sorry shortlived decades.
There are neoclassical buildings in athens which have the spiked cross long before there was nazi germany.
greeks propably got it from aryans (the real ones from india).

and this symbol even exists amongst indians (in amaerica) where it symbolizes perpetual movement (nomadlife)

it's about time it is reassessed for what it really means

Thorn,
exactly. WTF...

aren't the commonly associated meanings of those two symbols regarded as far from each other that is humanly possible?

And if I tried really hard, could I make a statement which was more unclear than the previous one...?
