Maybe someone is just going to point me to snopes.com or something in
response to this question, but I'd heard that the swastika the Nazis
used was a mirror image of the one regularly used, and in fact the Nazi
swastika's orientation was considered by the original users of the
swastika to be bad luck. Am I wrong?
Not that this necessarily helps anything....
