I remember seeing the same symbol in floors in some ancient settlements. Wonder how it became the Nazi symbol...suppose I can google it...but who cares.

While serving in Japan in 1960 I did a lot of touring and sightseeing. At a shrine in Nara, we were amazed to see swastika symbols adorning a very old temple there. The docent explained that the swastika is a symbol that goes back several millennia in Nippon religious culture. The nazis borrowed it from Japan, apparently.
