No Nazi Swastikas Could Be Seen.......


on their uniforms when the Nazi raiding party sneaks onto the British coast and later fight with the army of medieval knights. I guess there really wasn't a need to add that in a children's film. It's a symbol of pure evil.

What are you babbling on about? Do you think German troops wore giant swastikas around their necks so you could see them clearly on TV? Time to go back on your meds.

You see their Swastikas in the introduction and you can see it on their chest patches on uniforms inside the circles...so yeah?

Hmm, no, actually, it isn't. It's a symbol of auspiciousness in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism that has existed for around 12000 years.

Until Hitler perverted it the Swastika, its still a religious symbol for Hindus.

They're Heer (regular German Army). And they do have Swastikas on their uniforms: the Nazis' version of the reichsadler (imperial eagle) featured the Swastika inside a wreath being gripped by the eagle. It's on Heller's cap above the Heer wreath and cockade, the soldiers' helmets on the left side, and on all of their tunics above the right breast pocket.

I mean, really, how many times will you look under Jabba's manboobs?
