I was mistaken about Shirer. It's Von Kuehnelt Leddihn.
From page 162, "Leftism Revisited"
"Not by accident was the Nazi flag the red banner. In early 1933 many Nazi flags were only adapted communist and socialist flags--the center cut out and replaced by a white cloth or covered by a sewn-on "mirror" (when it rained, the red shone through).
The second image doesn’t show up for me. Who is it supposed to be?
Look him up. He's got some pretty serious background.
My high school had an old yearbook predating Hitler. It has a large reverse swastika on the cover. Apparently, this was a Cherokee symbol. There were many Cherokee in the area.
His background may be “serious” as you say, but then again there’s the fact Hitler wrote very specifically, in 1925, about having designed the Nazi flag with the red background, white circle and black swastika.
Musk was implying that Twitter’s censorship policies were Nazi, but no longer now that he is at the wheel.
From the article -
“Getty Images lists the photo in its archives, describing it as “a German Wehrmacht soldier part of the unified Nazi armed forces — carrying messenger pigeons on the Western front during the German invasion of France, known as the Battle of France, in WWII, circa May 1940,” according to the New York Post.”
So it’s a pre
-1939 photo then? In other words WW1.

"After reading Hitler's book Mein Kampf, Goebbels found himself agreeing with Hitler's assertion of a 'Jewish doctrine of Marxism';.[47] In February 1926, Goebbels gave a speech titled "Lenin or Hitler?" in which he asserted that communism or Marxism could not save the German people, but he believed it would cause a "socialist nationalist state" to arise in Russia.[48] In 1926, Goebbels published a pamphlet titled Nazi-Sozi which attempted to explain how National Socialism differed from Marxism."
As the American and postmodern European Left pretend there is an "extremist right wing," based on an utterly failed model, the simple fact is that Nazism was a kind of corporatism like Italian Fascism, a Marxism without Marx, or as Hitler would argue, an Aryan Socialism. Today's socialists can only lie and clutter with terms the salient fact that ALL the twentieth centuries Left -- National Socialism, Soviet Socialism, Sino-socialism of the CCP, and the many minor governments of the same ilk are OF THE LEFT.
Well you are welcome. I think the detail is important, and i've remembered it for several decades because I think it is so important.

And this is the direction it feels as if the country is going. There is way too much interaction between government and corporations.
American government policy from the 1790s had two views during that era. There was the Jeffersonian view that government should pretty much leave everyone alone, and the Hamiltonian view that government should set policy that aids industry.
Just this morning I was thinking to myself that this "mercantilism", which is what they called it in the 19th century, would seemingly evolve into fascism as government and industry became closer together in doing favors for each other.
This looks like where we are headed.
Today's socialists can only lie and clutter with terms the salient fact that ALL the twentieth centuries Left -- National Socialism, Soviet Socialism, Sino-socialism of the CCP, and the many minor governments of the same ilk are OF THE LEFT.
Exactly the point Erik von Kuenhelt Lehddin makes in his book. He really goes deep into the history of leftism movements. I highly recommend it.
It would seem that the average Joe -- and Jean and Juan and Ioan, ect. -- will in time be so attacked by their own governments as to attack back. Tick tock....
