Swathika was a religious sign in hinduism, how come Hitler took it as an emblem for Nazi party?

Swasthika, is not a hindu religious symbol from the start. Its actually a symbol that came into the religion when Aryans migrated & setteled in India.Swathika is basically a symbol that belongs to Aryans. \n\nHitler strongly believed that Germans were the true dissidents of the Aryan tribe & he also believed that the Aryans were a superior Race. So he took the symbol, actually reversed Swasthika asthe Nazi Party symbol.

The symbol in the background means juxtaposition of love and hate/anger, or life and death. The symbol is sported as a tattoo by many HIM fans, including professional skater and "Jackass" stuntman Bam Margera

When the Jews Turned down Christ..it was prophesied that they would be scattered around the world and In the last days They would be driven back together again. Hitler,Mussolini,and Stalin were doing what God said He would do. Otherwords in plain english, God was using Hilter to fulfill his word!

The making of this icon(Rajkumar) roughly coincided with the formation and development of Karnataka, the linguistic state of the Kannadigas. Over the years, Rajkumar came to symbolise the pride and honour of Kannadigas more than any political stalwart, social worker or litterateur. \n\nFor more information visit the site listedhttp://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/apr132006/panorama176502006412.asp

Hitler stood againtist Jesus at every point of life. the taste for power is not what the bible teaches. it is a thrist for Jesus Christ and following Him. let see Jesus taught the most powerful were those that served. today many people ignore the bible to follow their own earthly lust.

Sturmabteilung \n \nThe seal of SAThe  Sturmabteilung? (SA, German for "Storm Division", usually translated as stormtroops or stormtroopers) functioned as a paramilitary organization of the NSDAP – the German Nazi party. It played a key role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1930s.\n\nSA men were often known as brownshirts from the color of their uniform and to distinguish them from the SS who were known as blackshirts. Brown coloured shirts were chosen as the SA uniform because a large batch of them were cheaply available after World War I, having originally been ordered for German troops in Africa.\n\nThe SA was also the first Nazi paramilitary group to develop pseudo-military titles for bestowal upon its members. The SA ranks would be adopted by several other Nazi Party groups, chief among them the SS.\n\n\nHistory\n \nHitler addressing SA members in the late 1920sThe term Sturmabteilung originally came from the specialized assault troops used by Germany in 1918 in World War I utilising Hutier tactics. Instead of a large mass assault, the Sturmabteilung were organized into small teams of a few soldiers each. First applied during the Battle of Cambrai, the wider use in March 1918 allowed the Germans to push back British and French lines tens of kilometers.\n\nIn Munich in the fall of 1920, Hitler himself created the Ordnertruppen; a body of muscular Nazis, ex-soldiers, and beer hall brawlers in order to protect his speeches and Nazi Party gatherings from Communist disruptions. It originally functioned as a group of bodyguards to enforce order at Nazi gatherings. It was shortly changed to Sportabteilung, a cover name meaning "Sports section," and came to be known by the initials SA. In late 1921, the name was changed to the final version: Sturmabteilung. Under their popular leader Ernst Röhm, the SA grew in importance within the Nazi power structure, eventually claiming thousands of members. In 1922, the NSDAP created a youth section, the Jugendbund, for young men between the ages of 14 and 18 years. Its successor, the Hitler Youth, remained under SA command until May 1932. The SA carried out numerous acts of violence against socialist groups throughout the 1920s, typically in minor street-fights called Zusammenstöße ('collisions'). The SS eventually took over their original role.\n\n \nA rare, complete set of Nazi S.A. tin soldiers, from the 1940s.After Hitler took power in 1933, the SA became increasingly anxious for power and saw themselves as the replacement for the German army. This angered the regular army (Reichswehr) who already resented the Nazi party, and commonly regarded the SA as 'brown scum'. It also led to tension with other leaders within the party who saw Röhm's increasingly powerful SA as a threat to their own personal ambitions. The SA was also considered a dangerous and radical organization, especially since common SA practice was to swear loyalty to local SA commanders rather than Adolf Hitler or the Nazi Party as a whole.\n\nSenior Nazis including Himmler faked a dossier which suggested that Röhm had received payment from the French to carry out a coup against Hitler. At first Hitler refused to believe it, but he was painfully aware that the SA had the power to remove him if it so wished. Röhm was unpopular in the party because others saw his ambition as threatening their own, and because he was a homosexual. Eventually the pressure mounted and Hitler ordered the execution of the leadership of the SA, which took place on June 30-July 1, 1934, on what is known as the Night of the Long Knives. Victor Lutze became the new leader of the SA, and the organization was soon marginalized in the Nazi power structure.\n\nThe SA had its own units during the war, known as Feldherrnhalle. These formations expanded from regimental size in 1940 to a fully-fledged armored corps Panzerkorps Feldherrnhalle in 1945.\n\n\nLeaders of the SA\nThe leader of the SA was kno

i am trying to get meaning out of this its certainly informative and perhaps correct that Hitler took a scientific theory and twisted its purposes for his own use..... that is done everyday by groups of people around the world. Doesn't the KKK use the bible to justify their absurd beliefs? Haven't violent horrible atrocities taken place in the name of a god or over christianity vs islam?\nIf your point is that people take ideas and twist them to serve their own purposes then i would say you are correct but if your point is that Darwin was the devil because an evil lunatic twisted his work to be used to justify his evil then i think you would have to say the same about the author of the bible? wouldn't you?

yeah, he must be talking about the swastika.  well, it was originally a solar symbol that was seen as something quite fortunate.  however, being perverted by the nazis, i feel it's been tainted.  now, don't be afraid when you see this symbol used in ancient lands, for their useage preceeded the nazi's blasphemous and atrocious acts.\n\ni found a nice site for you regarding that symbol.  http://history1900s.about.com/cs/swastika/a/swastikahistory.htm  i haven't gone through the whole site, but as far as i can tell, it is NOT of a racist nature.

The "nazi salute" was used long before Hitler was ever born, and is still used to this day in Austria.  When asked why they salute their flag with an upraised arm, they tend to reply "Why would we change a long-standing tradition?  Just because some two-bit painter's son made it unpopular in Germany?"  Outside the Germanic world it is always associated with Nazism.  Within the Germanic world I have a feeling it is much more complex.\n\nA similar thing happens with the white robes and pointy hoods.  While here in the US that will always be associated with the KKK, in Spain it has been the traditional garb of the brotherhoods of the various local churches.  When taking their holy statues and virgins on parade through the streets during holy week (Semana Santa), the men dress up in this garb as they have since medieval times.  I'm not sure, but I think the KKK actually borrowed that symbol from Catholic popular ceremony (ironically).\n\nThe point is, symbols have a much more complex and varied meaning once they are borrowed or lifted by social groups for specific social or political reasons.

It's an old German custom ... made popular by a former President's wife ...\n\n... You should look into the origins of "Rudolph" ... a complete marketing ploy ... \n\nGood question though.  It is interesting and I'm adding this to my watch list too.   ;-)\n\nSidebar:  If a Christian and a Jew marry, do they have a Christmas tree with the Star of David on top ?  ;-P

You are an arrogant, rude, snotty little tool of your arrogant religion.  Nazis were not atheist.  I wholly believe that you would spew your snotty hatred in accordance with whatever status quo you happened to grow up in.  You would have been a loud and hateful Nazi, if you were only given the chance.  If you were a little more inquisitive, you could see above the BS you swim in, but you snort like a pig and wallow in it.  The evolutionist apemen look down on you from our trees, but your stink rises.

The five pointed star is a pagan symbol.  It represents the hands, arms, and head of a person.  Like many pagan symbols, it was adopted into Christianity.  Many medieval paintings show important saints with halos containing stars.  Like many Christian symbols, it was reversed by those who claimed allegiance to Satan, and the inverted star (with one point facing down) is still used as a symbol in Satanism.\n\nThere are other stars.  The Star of David has six points.  Islam favors an eight-sided star, as does Buddhism.  These are relatively hard to draw.  You'd think a star of two triangles would be easy, but it's not.  \n\nOver time, the five-pointed star's association with Christianity was lessened in favor of the cross, but it was still considered a symbol of luck, and so was incorporated into many other symbols, such as flags.
