What is the Nazi symbol on all the flags and armbands in Germany called?

The word "swastika" is of Hindu origin. As noted in the other posting the Germans used the word "HakenKruez" (twisted cross). The swastika is an ancient East Indian symbol and was to promote good luck. The symbol is still in use today in that culture. There are even some evidence that indignous peoples of the Americas used it also. The symbol was en vogue and being used by several European groups in the early 1920's, e.g. Finland (Coca-cola even had a poster that depicted it). The Germans adopted it as the symbol of the Nazi party movement, and forever corrupted it as a symbol of evil and man's inhumanity.
