Actually if memory serves the symbol we know as the swastika was a commonly used symbol in both Hindu and Buddhist faiths and it refers to family or children before Hitler misappropriated it having been given false information from his preferred Nazi historians believing it to represent 'the German motherland'

@NativePortlander1970 I think it illustrates the point perfectly.
Push a symbol with an unpalatable association long enough and people will associate one with the other.
It's even used to this day in advertising
