Its not a symbol of servitude. They were vassals to the Germans but not servants nor slaves.

Next you'll say you have a problem with the Buddhist Swastik

That assertion needs Rogaine with Monoxidil. The Germans were pretty condescending to and demanding of their vassals. Ask the Ukrainians (see Babi Yar for details). The Germans occupied Latvia, conscripted Latvians, and made them wear German uniforms. Did the Latvians have their own commissioned officers, or German officers? Who commissioned them? Were the battle plans made by Latvian generals in consultation with their German allies, or dictated by the Germans and obeyed. Did the Latvians have to give the Nazi salute and exclaim “Heil Hitler!” or a traditional Latvian Salute? How many Latvians were conscripted to work in factories and farms in Germany? Under what conditions? Care to do some homework, or is the onus on me?
