Question

what do you mean by the Hitler symbols

Answer 1

The swastika (as a character 卐 or 卍) is a geometrical figure and an ancient religiousicon used commonly in the Indian subcontinent, East Asia and Southeast Asia, where it has been and remains a sacred symbol of spiritual principles in Hinduism,Buddhism and Jainism.[1][2][3][4] In the Western world, it was historically a symbol of auspiciousness and good luck;[5] but in the 1930s, it became the main feature of Nazi symbolism as an emblem of Aryan raceidentity, and as a result it has become stigmatized in the West by association with ideas of racism and antisemitism.[5][6]

The name swastika comes from Sanskrit(Devanagari: स्वस्तिक) and denotes "conducive to well being or auspicious".[7][8] In Hinduism, the clockwise symbol is called swastika, symbolizing surya (sun), prosperity and good luck, while the counterclockwise symbol is called sauvastika, symbolizing night or tantricaspects of Kali.[8] In Jainism, a swastika is the symbol for Suparshvanatha – the 7th of 24Tirthankaras (spiritual teachers and saviours), while in Buddhism it symbolizes the auspicious footprints of the Buddha.[8][9][10]

Answer 2

The Nazis' principal symbol was the "swastika flag." The black-white-red motif is based on the colours of the flags of the German Empire. This colour scheme was commonly associated with anti-Weimar German nationalists, following the fall of the German Empire.[9] The Nazis denounced the black-red-gold flag of the Weimar republic (the current flag of Germany).[9] In Mein Kampf Adolf Hitler described the symbolism of the Nazi flag: "The red expressed the social thought underlying the movement. White the national thought. And the swastika signified the mission allotted to us-the struggle for the victory of Aryan mankind and at the same time the triumph of the ideal of creative work ..."[10] Today, certain countries such as Germany (see Strafgesetzbuch section 86a), Austria, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Ukraine, Brazil, and Israel have banned Nazi symbols and it is considered a criminal offence if they are displayed publicly for non-educational purposes.
