The third post I quoted says they go either way

Yes, and I went to wikipedia and read the page it was copied from, and the page to which it linked, and found it unconvincing. Now more has been copied and pasted, some of which contradicts the earlier copy and paste. I get the impression that you can put it either way round and ascribe to it any meaning you want.

I guess that goes for most religious symbols though.

Thought I would share..
Ordered and received a pair of folding Continental Grand Prix tyres.
I wouldn't say they fell on, but each tyre was fitted without the need for tyre leavers.
Puncture Anxiety now a memory.👍

Whatever
OP the background to this is fascinating, might be worth getting on a genealogy website and doing some more digging regarding your RAF pilot relative, you will likely find a lot more detail with regard to exactly where he was based

You trying to deflate the OP's opinion?

@DRM We are!
We have enlisted wife’s cousins who she never hears from, and our daughter is doing the genealogy digging ( as a teenager she earned some good money researching family trees).

Good one, be prepared for even more questions to be raised due to what you uncover.

sounds pretty funny that he was pretty uneducated in his "field of expertise", you know... using a symbol which another nation you hate uses is weird

Because the Nazi party were trying to be populist, they used all sorts of symbols and ideology from the past, and twisted it suit their own ends

They also tried to make out that the Aryan German ideal was good reason to invade eastern countries and twisted history to back up their awful ideology by making false claims/research to prove it, all headed up by Heinrich Himmler and his propaganda, of which they were masters, indeed some of the methods are still used today, think make America great again, short snappy themes that the general public easily remember
