overview of swastika variations

This 7-1/4 x 10 inch, 92 pages soft cover book was written by Dr. Joerg Lechler and first published 1921 by Curt Kabitsch Verlag in Leipzig. Offered here is the even harder to find edited second edition which now contained a chapter on the use of the swastika in the Third Reich. This fantastic book is by far the best Third Reich publication on the history of the symbol that played a key role in Nazi Ger-many and which will always be connected with Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. The swastika can be traced back 5,000 (!) years. The book, heavily illustrated with 600(!) illustrations and photos, explains in which parts of the world and at what times the swastika was used and what its meaning was. A #1 reference for anyone interested in the history of the Hakenkreuz!

one heavily illustrated chapter shows the use of the swastika by ancient cultures in different countries, such as Egypt, Greece, Cyprus, Rome, among others. The pictures below and below left are examples of how the swastika, playing a key role now again, is displayed in the Third Reich.
