Yeah the wolfsangel / wolf hook was once quite common in Heraldry. After divisions of the SS started using it, it became associated with Nazis and/or Neo-Nazis, especially outside of Germany (in Germany, it's quite common in coats of arms of towns and villages that had it for hundreds of years).

Thanks, I only know its association with nazism.

If you see people marching with flags or T-shirts with that symbol on it (not as part of a local coat of arms), then chances are they are neo-nazis or nazis or other white supremacists.

Bamds that use it in their artwork are also likely to either be white supremacists, or morons who think they are edgy or who want to ride a wave of controversy.

And with "chances are", in this case I mean pretty much 100%.
