I don't think it is.  Do you mean the Crossbuster?

I think the Swastika is an ancient Sanskrit symbol meaning "Good Luck" or something else to that effect. Except it's not tilted like the Nazi one.

I don't know exactly what it meant but I believe it meant something like 'power' or 'good luck' indeed. I do recall from schoolbooks seeing it on greek (and therefore also Roman) temples but I'm not certain if that was the first appearence of the sign. (well, I knew it first was a square with a + in it but that was around the same time if i'm not mistaking)

There was a band called One Minute Silence who had an Uncle Sam with swastikas instead of stars on his hat, I think, on their album cover.

I could go into detail on the swastika and it's perversion by Hitler et goons, but I won't, because I think he was joking.

this post just adds fuel to the stereotype that the exploited are a band.
this is not something to be encouraged.....
