Adolf Hitler's Swastika (Hakenkreuz), when the Nazi Party was created, originally meant to "be a symbol of our own struggle" (Mein Kampf, pg. 495) [In red we see the social idea of the movement, in white, the nationalistic idea, in the swastika, the struggle for victory] It was a symbol of peace and good luck until the early 1940s, when it became twisted into a symbol of hatred. But most cultures still recognize the Swastika as a religious symbol for all that is good. But the swastika dates back to ancient religions (Buddhism, Hinduism...just to name a few) I hope this helps you.
