Thanks for the post. good points. Of course, the symbol you describe was flat on one side (as if drawn within a square). German National Socialists did not call their symbol a swastika. Also, their symbol was turned 45 degrees to the horizontal, as if within a diamond. It emphasized the 2 overlapping S-shapes for “socialism” under the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Also, the boy scouts used the stiff-arm salute in the USA (and they spread it internationally) for 3 decades before it was adopted by German National Socialists. It was the early salute to the Pledge of Allegiance. http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html
