I have seen this symbol all over South Korea. Nazi affiliation? National Socialism? Not even close. The Yung Drung has a been a symbol of Buddhism before 500BC, thats even before the Romans took power in Italy. The Nazis just stole it. This isnt the exact swastika the Germans used but instead it is a mirror image. Meaning, it rotates the opposite way. In Buddhism, this symbol is synonymous with the Christian cross
