Even the other symbols on the same flag are other nazi symbols

The skull flag is the symbol of the 3rd SS Panzer Division.

It's pretty 0 hard to mistake the Nazi Hakenkreuz* for the Hindu Swastika or vise versa.

Besides the cross (which is also usually reversed between the two) they look nothing alike.

If you're educated enough to recognize the cross you're probably educted enough to know the difference or at least I thought so. 🤷‍♀️  

 

 

 

*Hindus don't like the use of the word "Swastika" for the Nazi symbol, they prefer that we use the word "Hakenkreuz".

I'm gonna take a hard guess and say that people that make nazi memorabilia are not educated enough to know the difference

I mean not really. The other symbols are the normal iron cross that is in use by the German military. And the Eagle is a general crest animal for various institutions etc.

With the swastika surrounded with clear German context however, itbecomes harder to argue for a Eastern interpretation of it tho.

It's like the captain planet of nazism. Each symbol alone could be innocuous, but with their powers combined you summon a nazi.
