I was thinking the same thing when they goose-stepped. IIRC, I think during the Korean War when President Truman watched films of Red Chinese and North Korean troops goose-stepping, he was appalled at that and compared them to the Nazis.

As to Swastikas, the Germans used there clockwise and from what I have read, they got it backwards because most swastikas should be counterclockwise. In India, many Hindus believed the Nazis would be doomed, well history proved that, because they flew the swastika the wrong way.

It is still seen as a positive symbol in India -- I have a colleague there named Swastika.
