Yeah, the Nazis just adapted it for their own cause. It’s interesting how one group using a symbol (modified or not) can ruin the symbol’s reputation for everyone else who was using it first. :/
It makes me think of the American Red Cross. They’re very protective of the Red Cross symbol, just to prevent this sort of thing from happening. They don’t want it being associated with anything other than medical aid.
