Now do a search and find out what it meant to the Catholic Church, long before Nazis.
Also please give me your definition of the term, Third Reich.

Not my views corporate pig, just something interesting.

Third Reich

As far as the church goes, there is way to much information. Why don't you link me to what your talking about or write it down so I don't have to guess.

I never alluded that they were your views.
I find it funny that you are now down to insulting me. Truely you show your true colors. I have not insulted you, just questioned your logic.
Oink Oink.

I reread the post, saw a question not an insult. But onward.

Hitler, as a child, saw this symbol during a church service. In latter years he adopted it in the swastika. I don't have any material with me on this trip, and I prefer books to Google. So I will have to get back to you after Friday on this subject.

I only can use the means I have. Your kind of a turd, communism doesn't = hippy. Communists are heavy industrialists and do support progress through education and other means.

--------------------

After the turd comment I don't think we will converse much further. I have and will not stoop to personal attacks over ideas.
Too bad I thought it might be entertaining/enlightening.

I could care less what the Swastika meant to a church or anyone else before Nazi's. It is now a symbol of hate and anti-semitism that should have no place in this world.

Everything has it's place. Good and Evil are just complements of each other. It's all about interpretation and perspective. Hitler had twisted view on certain symbolism.

To give a interesting fact; the eagle practically had the same significance and meaning as the swastika in Nazi Germany, but you Americans use it as a symbol in your own culture.

A perfect example of symbolism meaning different things to different people. People are so ill educated when I comes to history and other cultures.

It's a character in some foreign languages. You can type it if you select the right language and type the right character code. I think it's part of some versions the Hindi(?) alphabet, or perhaps as just a religious symbol.

Remember that at the end of WW2 there were probably more people who knew of the swastika only as a religious or language symbol than who had even heard of the Nazis. Most Chinese may have heard of the war with Japan but not Germany. After the British left India a US Army survey of Indian attitudes about the British withdrawal revealed that most Indians were not aware the British had ever arrived (300 years earlier!). And, a friend of mine who grew up in the southwest US remembers coming home from school and telling her parents about WW2 - which they had never heard about - in 1974 or so.
