At the advent of WWII, the Army National Guard Divison in New mexico also had the swastika as their unit patch due to the American Indian connection. They changed it, of course.<br>
<br>
Swastikas are everywhere in India, it is interesting to see them utilized in clothing, walls , etc oblivious of their connotation in the west.<br>
<br>
Germans sometime freak out at displays when they see the swastikas on the Dura Europas shield. Incidentally, Roman hobnailed boot soles were often in a swastika pattern.<br>
