Hindu Swastika Confused With Nazi Swastika By markulyseas on
April 18, 2011
http://my.telegraph.co.uk/markulysea...nazi-swastika/

According to the Nordicist version of the Aryan Invasion Theory, the Nazis claimed that the early Aryans of India, from whose Vedic tradition the Swastika sprang, were the archetypal white invaders. The concept of racial purity was an ideology central to Nazism. Thus the Nazis saw fit to co-opt the Swastika as a symbol of the Aryan Master race.

I recall an interesting article about American western saddles from around the turn of the century that displayed swastikas. Really don't think that would fly today!
Best regards, Don
