Except that Adenoid Hinkel and his band of merry men occasionally used
a swastika that rotated in the non-standard direction (or, more 
precisely, a sauvistika, UIM) [Source: a PBS documentary I saw on swastikas
a few years ago.]

Also, it's my understanding that both varieties of foostikas are found in 
the East; and that Buddhist temples are marked on Japanese maps with
swastikas.  

However, this is orthogonal to the swastika under discussion, which
is unarguably associated with Mean Mr. Mustache.  

Is there some other symbol of the Nazis that's (a) uniquely recognizable
and (b) acceptable in .de?
