Describe the Nazi flag and explain what the elements on it symbolize. To what was Hitler referring when he mentioned “those revered colours expressive of our homage to the glorious past”? Why did he revere this past?

Respuesta :

The symbol on the Nazi flag is Swastika, one of the oldest symbols in the world. It was taken from Hinduism originally, which is one of the oldest religions in the world, but in this religion this symbol has a completely positive meaning. It represents the so-called "black sun" that radiates on all four sides framed by a circle, which all together represents eternity, incomprehensibility, and the name black sun arises from the fact that eternity goes beyond everything. Hitler assumed this symbol, under the influence of a secret society, giving him a negative connotation. The colors on the flag represent the Holy Roman Empire of the German People - the First Reich. Namely, according to some Nazi thesis, the German people came from the famous ancestors who were Aryans, members of the higher race, whose "mission" was to dominate others as wiser, more capable, physically superior. That is why Hitler claimed that all but the Aryans were all savages, and he reminded of the glorious German past, referring to some falsified ancient writings, according to which the Germans dominated Europe, and that's why he had laid the right on Poland and many other European countries. The "living space" thesis is also part of these claims and endeavors.
