@Tfmonkey the Romans also used the swastika, as seen here in a mosaic found in some domus ruins. Perhaps the Nazis took the swastika from the Romans and not from Asia?
@blitzdriver but the Nazis literally travelled to Tibet to look for the Aryans among the Tibetan Buddhists.
"The Nazi use of the swastika stems from the work of 19th Century German scholars translating old Indian texts, who noticed similarities between their own language and Sanskrit. They concluded that Indians and Germans must have had a shared ancestry and imagined a race of white god-like warriors they called Aryans."

@Tfmonkey @blitzdriver Tangent to this topic, I have noticed one odd similarity with German and Indian accents in how they pronounce words with W's. They both pronounce them with a V, or at least a good chunk of Indians do (there are quite a bit of languages in India besides Hindi). Maybe they saw other similarities and thought there was something to it, but I don't know how much of that is coincidental or not.
