Origins of the twisted cross

Kris Jackson  FACEBOOK

The insignia of the U.S. Army’s 45th Infantry division in WWII was the swastika, a tribute to the large Native American population in the American Southwest. I saw a lot of swastikas growing up; called the Thorshammer in Iceland, it was the symbol of the Icelandic Steamship Company, among other things. Later, in Asia, I saw it associated with the Buddha. This ancient symbol is now anathema, at least in the West, due to its association with the Nazis.
