BenIn response to an earlier post, the Swastika used by the Nazi party was not always tilted. It was not until the early 1930's or so that Hitler had the swastika rotated 45 degrees. Even after that point, there were certain Nazi organizations (the DAF or German Workers Front for example) that still used the earlier swastika. Also, the Nazi party was not using the Swastika in 1919. Hitler only joined the party in late 1919 (at that point it was the German Workers Party, later to become the National Socialist German Workers Party). It was used by the Nazis starting in 1920, however there were other German nationalist organizations that used it before the Nazis.
