<b>Christian Socialism, the Hooked Cross, the Crooked Cross, Hakenkreuz, Swastika</b>
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->
Most people do not know that a cross was worshiped as the notorious symbol of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. <b>The group called their symbol the Hakenkreuz, not the swastika</b>. Hakenkreuz means "hooked cross." It is one of the biggest cover-ups in history. The hooked cross became a symbol of Christian Socialism.
In the USA the hooked cross was a common symbol and was referred to as a cross (armed cross, twisted cross, lucky cross, crooked cross, hooked cross) before "swastika" became dominant. <b>The eventual dominance of "swastika" occurred in part to distance the cross from German Christian Socialism, by slandering a foreign symbol</b>.
