Hitler and The Nazis


A famous Hitler symbol As you see, the Buddhist religious symbols swastika has a much longer history in human world than the Nazi symbols. Hitler stole the Buddhism symbol, but he was using the symbols differently. In Buddhism, the swastika is put flat and not in black color, but the Nazi put the swastika's corner pointing upwards and made it black. Swasticka was used for many different religions through the western world. During WWII it was used as the nazis sign and was on there flags.


Hitler sort to use 4 main aspects the colours white, red and black and the symbol of the swastika. He is quoted as saying: "As National Socialists, we see our program in our flag. In red, we see the social idea of the movement; in white, the nationalistic idea; in the swastika, the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man, and, by the same token, the victory of the idea of creative work, which as such always has been and always will be anti-Semitic."

The swastika was also comprehended as the symbol of creating acting life and as the race emblem of Germanism.



It was a worldly symbol that had meant Peace in many places and in many religions. Such as, in the Hindu religion, people light earthen lamps in a formation of the 'Swastika', a Hindu symbol of peace in Hindu festival of Diwali, the festival of lights.
