Its interesting that when someone sees a Swastika that they immediately think of the Third Reich but when in fact the Swastika itself has much more historical importance well before the usage of it by Adolph and his regime.

Lots of people unfortunately overlook that part.

I know this, of course, but "Jews confirmed for Hindus" wouldn't be nearly as tasteless.

This.

Thousands of years of symbolism destroyed by some nazi morons (Not like the winners distorting history to their favour is any better but what to do)

The Swastika is also used by native americans as well, not that they took it from the Nazis or the Hindus, they just found out the symbol for themselves.

Yeah, the swastika isn't really that complex, it is hardly surprising it has come up in many cultures. Why is it often sacred though, is a bit weird.
