Nazis have a rich history of stealing symbols and coopting movements. They're like hateful little magpies who steal any shiny bits of culture they find and take them back to their nests to shit all over them.
Yeah, and they forever ruined
this look

wtf is going on with Hitler's right nostril in that photo? Is he wearing a stillsuit?
Most people have differently sized nostrils. It's an interesting physical difference, and there are a few different ideas for why. One is the nasal cycle, and your body simply has a preference for one side, another that you'll hear is (and this is constantly parroted in the EMS world and easily dismissed by the logic that your nose is quite far from the carina where the primary bronchi merge) that your lungs are slightly different due to the heart sitting partially to the left of your chest (for most people), making your right lung bigger and thus blows harder through the right nostril.
I just cropped him out of some random internet image. I luckily wasn't there by a few decades.
For an example see the symbol of peace that was the swastika more than 100 years ago
They reversed the direction. The original symbol is still used in Asia
I went to a Viking festival and had a great time, but I wonder about how often they have to look askance at the people who are really into runes and Thor hammer symbols.
It still is where people don't get triggered just by looking at it.
