I think the desacraters got it right and the Nazi's inverted the swaztika...
The swaztika has been around for t'ousands of years..see the pattern on this plate..an old Native American symbol...

As a matter of fact it was a Japanese symbol..

Quote.....
"This is the Shorinji Kempo manji, or symbol; it is also the Japanese symbol for a Buddhist temple. At first sight, the manji can be easily mistaken for the Nazi swaztika. However, the manji represents the opposites of the world: heaven and earth, good and evil, life and death. This contrasts with the misrepresented use of the manji (in reverse form with the brackets facing the opposite way) by Adolph Hitler during World War II; he inverted the manji's design in an attempt to use its meaning for his own selfish reasons: power and greed.
