You do realise that the Swastika pre-dates the Nazis by some 3000 years?

I can't make out a swastika on the right picture. I think you're clutching at straws on that one!

It's hardly the classic swastika shape though is it? It has a passing resemblance and that's about all that can be said about it.

I thought this might be about the cookhouse at Vogelsang. I'm with you FJ nothing to see in the picture on the right.

But isn't the ancient symbol a mirror image of the nazi swastika?

The symbol is certainly nothing new, there's one carved in a stone on Ilkley moor which is attributed to the bronze age:
