Are you calling Mrs. Roy Shanabarger a liar? She personally saw low-flying Japanese air crew who had loosened the tops of their blue overalls to reveal swastika-decorated brown shirts beneath. If that’s not reliable information I don’t know what is.

The swastika was a symbol for good luck in the east long before the Nazis used it. It is possible they were wearing them.

American soldiers wore the swastika in WWI.
