The wiki talk page is amusing with their twisting themselves in knots over this.
>This has been discussed extensively before. (See above and in the archives.) The closest thing anybody has found is some similar decorative motifs on older objects but those are not exactly the same and we have no reliable sources discussing those as being symbols, never mind explaining their significance. The subject here is the Nazi symbol which was designed and used by the Nazis. The article acknowledges that it may have been inspired by the older decorative motifs. That's as much as we have sources for and that's as far as we can go. People saying "But it's an ancient symbol" are not going to change our minds without reliable sources to back it up. In fact, it only raises the question: Who told you that it was an ancient symbol?
