I'm not certain about any of this because it's been a very long time, but I *BELIEVE* many cultures have used the same or similar symbol over a long period of time and well before the Nazis did.
As far as I recall it spans back thousands of years, even predating the Egyptian Ankh. As I remember it, it first shows up in and around ancient Troy some 1000 years BC.
