The Nazi symbol the Swastika was considered to be one of the most fear symbols of our time. However the invention and development of the mark isn’t so popular. After reading this 4 page article I was amazed at how much Hitler wanted to be involved with it. I always figured him as only a strict military dictator but never an artist. That fact that he understood how to make and use symbolism, propaganda, and overall design for his cause was quiet clever. Everything down to shape and color pallet was detailed oriented.
The Swastika always reminds me as a crooked cross that just needs some straightening. One part I found that they compared it to a sun cross. Although they couldn't be more different in meaning they share one comparison that they have a great effect on people.
Whenever I see the cross I think of redemption. Redemption is being saved. After WWI Germany was a wreck and in a way they brought a wave of hope and redemption to the country. The photo I used for Redemption was from the Movie Shaw Shank Redemption.
