The Swastika was considered a symbol of peace for centuries before the Nazi's adopted it.

I believe it was a catholic symbol as well.

They need to be in the next installment of Kung Fury.

It was no such thing, it was an Indian good luck symbol.

I believe there is a documentary on Netflix, right now, (I think it's Spanish language) about Mexico's history with Naziïsm.

More over, considering that the music involves someone saying, "Sieg heil!" I tend to suspect that the Swastika is there because of Naziïsm and not because of any more benign meaning.

Also found in Tibet and some schools of Buddhism.

It was also from these schools that the concept of "aryan" was first used. These foreign mystical religious ideas were later co opted and distorted by a Russian 19th century mystic named Madame Blavastky and served as the basis for aryan ideas in Germany.

Correct, the Nazi's stole the symbol from Tibet when they were there on their expedition searching for Vril.

Even the 45th Infantry Division (Oklahoma National Guard) used the swastika as their unit symbol prior to WWII.

The division's original shoulder sleeve insignia, approved in August 1924,[12] featured a swastika, a common Native American symbol, as a tribute to the Southwestern United States region which had a large population of Native Americans. However, with the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany, with its infamous swastika symbol, the 45th Division stopped using the insignia.[13] Following a long process of submissions for new designs, a new shoulder sleeve insignia, designed by a Carnegie, Oklahoma native named Woody Big Bow,[14] featuring the Thunderbird, another Native American symbol, was approved in 1939.[1]
