I missed good quality drama because I was using my european timezone hack to sleep

what I find most amusing about this thread, and some parts of history in general, is that the desired effect of nazi propaganda still rings true in the future.

50 years ago, a national socialistic party decided to "borrow" symbolism from other civilizations in a gest to make their own look "superior".

In most cases, we do not remember the old civilization or culture that used those symbols (the swastica for example) but only their more modern implication.

anyway, the eagle nowadays is more associated with the USA then with any other culture, I truly dont understand why you would link it to the use of it by Axis forces in the second world war. You do realize, the americans were using their eagle aswell by this time?.

As someone put it down in big words which it is too early for me to comprehend fully due to a severe lack of cafeine;

You had an answer, and you were looking for the question, yet formulated it as a question.

That is what we call prejudice and guardian behaviour.

The style of its portrayal (check the picture in the OP).

I had a suspicion, not an answer. How many times must I explain this?

I would suggest looking up American naval uniform tags during the 44-45 period ;)

So there are similar designs. It doesn't invalidate my question. The Nazis still used that design, and that was the connotation salient in my mind. There's not much more to it than that. I'm far more used to seeing that symbol, in its current style, in conjunction with Nazis than America.

I do find it fairly odd though that America would take such a similar design for their emblem concurrent with the end of the war, though.

Ill ask Gren to change the symbol to the swastika so we actualy have something to argue about.

Anyway, just because the Nazi's used a symbol does not make it theirs. Symbolism is not owned by any culture, its the herritage of human kind.

You dont cringe everytime you see a christian cross just because Hitler decided to paint a stylized version of it on the side of his Panzer tanks right?
