Mel Brooks was absolutely brilliant but that was just another joke in the movie. The use of the swastika by the NAZIs was part of their mystical mythology about being descended from Aryans.

Swastika - As the symbol of Nazism

The use of the swastika was incorporated by Nazi theorists with their conjecture of Aryan cultural descent of the German people.
