| May 18, 2020 at 16:57 | comment | added | SZCZERZO KŁY | @DisplayNamecanonlycontain Do you realize when in timeline stone age Troy is located and how far, in time, it was to not only Christ and his cross but to monastery build 1000 years after his presumed death? | |
| May 18, 2020 at 14:19 | comment | added | user55798 | Wait, how does this answer refute the "Christian cross" statement? Even proving that it was the Indic Swastika wouldn't refute the Christian cross origin, as the Nazis may have intended multiple things. | |
| May 18, 2020 at 14:16 | comment | added | SZCZERZO KŁY | @DisplayNamecanonlycontain "Nazi Hakenkreuz was not inspired from the Indic Swastika, but from a Christian Cross variant seen by Hitler at an Austrian monastery." So by refuting the "christian cross" statement I didn't proven that it was Indic Swastika. | |

| May 18, 2020 at 14:07 | comment | added | SZCZERZO KŁY | @DisplayNamecanonlycontain How you expect logical negation to work in statements. I'm 6 foot tall. I say "I'm 7 feet tall", someone says "That's not true, you're 100 feet tall". By refuting the last sentence with biological reason you didn't proved the first one true. And you cannot assume that "The opposite must be true". Because what is opposite to such stament? | |
| May 18, 2020 at 12:57 | comment | added | tim | @DisplayNamecanonlycontain Hitler made a connection between the swastika and the "victory of Aryan mankind" in Mein Kampf: "the swastika signified the mission allotted to us--the struggle for the victory of Aryan mankind and at the same time the triumph of the ideal of creative work which is in itself and always will be anti-Semitic." | |
| May 18, 2020 at 12:35 | comment | added | user55798 | "the claim in the linked article can be easily refuted. BUT it don't prove opposite" This makes no sense. If the claim in the article is indisputably false, then its opposite (i.e. logical negation) must be indisputably true. That would be a "proof". In any case, this is not an answer: I'm asking for a specific reference of the Nazis claiming their symbolism to be related to what racial theorists of the time considered the Aryan Swastika. | |
| May 18, 2020 at 12:33 | comment | added | user55798 | I'm aware that the Nazis were obsessed with the Indo-European/Aryan expansion, and that other German academics related the archaeological Swastika to the Aryan expansion. But this does not prove that the Nazi use of the symbol was motivated by this connection. This seems like a claim that needs a primary source. | |
