A group of nearly two dozen people waving swastika flags and chanting antisemitic rhetoric marched on the Wisconsin state Capitol grounds Saturday afternoon, performing a salute originally used by Nazis at political rallies, often called the "Hitler salute."

…and the swastika is just a Hindu good luck symbol.
I’m sorry, but sometimes someone horrible takes a neutral or good thing and does something so profoundly evil with it that it forever changes that thing, tainting it by what has been done. Doesn’t matter what the salute was originally. Now it means only one thing.
Swastika is very very slowly being reclaimed in some media. Every time I see it though, I have to consider which meaning it was intended.
I thought Bleach, an anime, was using it in the Hindu manner, but many of the newer character designs made me wonder.
It's in the Japanese use.

Nice, thanks.
It is that yes, and in certain context is the symbol of Nazi Germany. It can add is both, and more honestly it's a native American symbol, Chinese symbol etc.
Not at all or every imperial nation would have to strike their flag and salute as well.
