We all know what this represented and the Nazis were crushed,so why do we see the Swastika used by so many.? Even the peace loving Hippie going to Woodstock 69 wore it,some motorcycle gangs use it and the skinheads have adopted it.What is it ,is it a show of defiance against their governments or something,please help me?

It's Hakenkreuz without a "t".

In Sweden and Germany showing the Swastika is banned.

Why is it banned?

For Germany, they must be ashamed of their history and in the end while the Swastika was the new German flag, alot of terror was caused. Sweden must regret trading supplies with Germany throughout the war, so that may be the reason. I'll go search now...

The swastika as far as I'm concerned poses no threat at all nowdays as Nazism was finished 60 years ago and why can you display it in most countries even USA/

Sou you would feel well if Neonazis would be allowed to gather on the streets in your neighbourhood display large swastika flags and shout Heil Hitler? There CAN ´T BE any doubt or discussion about if or why these things have been banned!
You live in Australia? The one on planet earth?

Munchener,
I hope no-offense by saying this, but you're not promoting Nazism are you?

I was always lead to believe that Nazism was crushed 60 years ago and why would anyone march down my street shouting Heil to someone that's dead?,you seem to be the one with the immagination.

Hello all,

There was a guy in the town I grew up in, in upstate New York, who
painted a huge Swastika/Hakenkreuz on his roof, making it visible from the road and by planes. This occured in the 1960's and it is still visible, because in America we have something called freedom of speech.

Cheers, Walter

Na ja...sometimes it get's to far I think!

If you for example wants to model a german aircraft from that time you can't make it exact because it is forbidden to show the swastika (which belongs to the Original)...
I mean those signs and the view of them make hardly a neo-nazi out of you, don't you think?

I think that the Hakenkreuz is strangely compelling and beautiful!
