        There is a mistake here. The cross used by nazis was the inverted
Swastika cross and not the real Swastika. I mean, the sense of the nazi
cross is inverted. The nazi cross can turn from rigth to left whereas the
swastika cross can turn from left to right. Here is a small kind of
drawing....i hope it will clearify my message.

        one arm from Nazi cross one arm from Swastika cross
       /\ /\
         \ : from right to left / : from left to right

        In the name of love
