According to another theory, the Nazi swastika is just the result of two superimposed sigel runes, one standing vertically and the other horizontally, as depicted below.

The sigel is a rune roughly equivalent to our letter “S”.

The photograph on the right, taken in the late twenties, is from the annual commemoration of the Munich beer-hall putsch. The survivors of the 923 debacle, lead by Hitler himself, reenacted every year their march to the Feldherrnhalle. Wreaths were then laid at the tombs of the 16 martyrs of the Nazi movement.The banners show the typical sinistroverse Nazi swastika standing on one of its angles. On the lower part of the banners are depicted some “Aryan” sigel runes.

But the swastika, in different forms, has been commonly found associated with archeological artifacts depicting runes.

Some scholars believe that a precursor of the swastika is the so-called Wolf Cross, an old rune in the form of a sinistroverse tiled swastika found on a Norse rune-stone.

Another swastika-like design associated with the swastika is the Dragon Eye, an old Germanic rune in the form of an angular sinistroverse trisquelion.

Ginfaxi, an old Icelandic rune, shows the typical design of a multi-legged sinistroverse swastika.

A gold ring found together with a coin of Leo I, A.D. 457-74, shows a swastika and swastika-like carvings on the inside resembling birds, as well as a sinistroverse swastika which corresponds closely to the letter “G” of the earliest northern runic ‘futhore’.

The picture on the left shows a large runic stone bearing an inscription concerning the dead man it commemorates, three interlocked drinking horns, and a sinistroverse meandroid swastika. It was found at Snoldelev, Denmark.

C.Swastikas, mostly in its sinistroverse form, but also in its destroverse form, are currently found in weapons.
