    I don't think Nazi but being American, I'm used to the idea of the Hindu Bhuddist usage of it as well as that by the American Indians. The 45th Infantry division used it until the Nazis rose to power and then they switched over to the Thunderbird emblem. I learned at the Smithsonian Aerospace Museum that Lindberg had a swastika painted on the inside of his propellor nose cone of the Spirit of St. Louis. It all depends on the context in which the emblem is used.

    Whatever you do, don't make one by arranging four Pride flags at 90° to each other, chevrons-in, around a point.

    Isn't it normal for the Beeb to operate Waybuloo the standards they set for others?

    History of the Swastika

    "The Reich Flag and the Nuremberg Race Law -
    At the annual Nazi Party rally in Nuremberg in September 1935, the German government passed new legislation aimed at further disenfranchising Germany’s Jews. Included among the so-called Nuremberg Race Laws was the Reich Flag Law (September 15, 1935) that declared that henceforth the swastika flag would constitute the official national flag of the German Reich. That same day, the government passed the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor, which prohibited marriages and sexual relations between citizens of “German or those of kindred blood” and Jews. A further stipulation spelled out that Jews were banned from raising the new German flag (the swastika) and displaying the national colors.
    The impetus behind the Reich Flag Law was the Nazi regime’s anger over events in New York in the summer and fall of 1935. On July 26, several hundred anti-Nazi demonstrators assembled around the German passenger liner, the SS Bremen, then docked at New York’s pier to protest recent anti-Jewish incidents in Berlin. A group of protesters ripped the swastika banner from the ship’s bow and tossed it into the river. New York police arrested several of the demonstrators. The German government promptly issued a formal protest to US authorities.
    In response to a judicial ruling that freed most of the defendants, the Nazi government passed the Reich Flag Law."

    That is awesome and I should look for one. The American 45th Infantry Division had the swastika as its emblem. It was an (feather) Indian symbol for good luck. Lindberg had one painted on the inside of the spinner of The Spirit of St. Louis. Only when the swastika was adopted by the Nazis did it fall out of favor.

    Milk chocolate? Is it rich and smooth or chalky like Hershey?
