What was the swastika in world war 2?

The swastika is an ancient symbol that has been used in various forms throughout history and in different cultures. In World War II, the swastika was adopted by the Nazi Party and became one of its main symbols. The Nazi swastika was a variant of the traditional swastika, with its arms pointing clockwise at a 45-degree angle. The swastika was used by the Nazis to represent their nationalist and anti-Semitic ideologies, and it was displayed prominently on Nazi flags, uniforms, and other symbols of the regime.

The swastika has been associated with the Nazis and their atrocities ever since, and its display in contemporary times is often interpreted as a symbol of hatred, anti-Semitism, and white supremacy.
