Prior to the Third Reich, swastikas in the US were not "verboten" symbols.

#2 Because the NAZIs and their defenders are fragile snowflakes who are offended by people with morals.

I was in Oregon for a couple weeks in June and never saw a swastika. Huh. Go figure.

You see swastikas on all sorts of postcards demo the very early 1900s. It was taken then in the US to be a good luck symbol. For example: commons.wikimedia.org

Hi Doc Sarvis

Good stuff. I wanted to cite those stamps you mentioned, but I was unable to locate them through my searches. The other imagery I was unable to find were some musicians and hippies at Woodstock wearing swastika pendants (nicht der hakenkreuzen).
