Hello all,

 

Allow me a few remarks for sake of the beloved "painter's historical accuracy".

The 'swastika' is a symbol of divinity and spirituality in Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.
The symbol  on historical accurate German WWII rudder is a 'Hakenkreuz', a symbol of Nazi Germany, exclusively associated with hatred and intolerance...

And, for historical accuracy: Nazi Germany never used the word 'swastika' for their 'Hakenkreuz' brand.

 

Regards

Swastika is a translation from my original language (Italian) to English. Nobody call in my town "Croce uncinata" = Hakenkreuz. I know the meaning of the swastika and I also know that Nazi stole that symbol using in an improper way. Thx for your historical accuracy.

Update first post: please overwrite skins for more historical accuracy.

That's not totally correct, it's a term used also in italy.
