Its common misinformation to say the Nazi's used the Swastika. They didn't.
They used the Hakenkreuz as their symbol (its a Swastika thats turned up on its side, at an angle called a 'hooked cross'). Making it like that is symbolistic of the Nazi's attitude.
The Right-facing Swastika became associated with them later becuase of their armbands, with were a normal right-facing Swastika instead of the Hakenkreuz (probably just because they were easier to make that way)
The Swastika is a religious-tied symbol in most Asian cultures. Used EXACTLY like a Cross is in Christianity (in that it has religious AND non-religious uses, its became a cultural thing)
(BTW, The Swastika's used in that guild tag are left-facing, they aren't even the type of Swastika that people link to Nazi's......)
