 | The common English language name for the symbol used by the Nazis is "swastika".
Although in German the symbol is called Hakenkreuz ("hooked cross"), per the Wikipedia policy WP:COMMONNAME, we use the word that is the common name in English, which is "swastika". This is not a comment of the use of the symbol by Hindus, Native American and other cultures, it is merely the name by which English-speaking people know it.Please do not request that "swastika" be changed to "Hakenkreuz"; your request will be denied. |
