I didn't want to "prove" anything with this thread. I just wanted to put something up of historical value that may not be known to many and surprise others.

Actually, you might be amused to find out (if you didn't already know) that the Swastika is from Budhist/Hindu origins. Its a symbol of luck, though I believe that Hitler may have altered the symbol slightly. Why did Hitler use something so very non-German? I always figured he did so because of where he borrowed the word "Aryan" and idea of "master race" from. The Aryans were a white, Indoeuropean people who invaded modern day India and for all intents and purposes, created India's culture and social structure. They were vastly outnumbered by the black/dark people that they had conquered, yet they managed to remain dominant in society for thousands of years. The general idea that "white is noble, black is commoner" is still of some effect in India today. You can see why Hitler liked to borrow from them and point to them as an example. He and others like to revised and make up the "fact" that "the Aryans came from Northern Europe" which is a load of crap and unprovable.Next thing I expect from Mohmar is that the Navajo indians of the American southwest were the originators of the swastika.

So what ???Mohmar Deathstrike said:Nope. My point is, I don't care what the page has to say, besides the fact that a salute similar to the Nazi salute was used in American schools during the pledge of allegiance.
