Non Nazi swastikas Legal disclaimer
This image of a swastika resembles the swastika that was used by the National Socialist (NSDAP/Nazi) government of Germany or an organization closely associated to it, or another party which has been banned by the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany .

The use of insignia similar to organizations that have been banned in Germany may also be illegal in Austria , Hungary , Poland , Czech Republic , France , Brazil , Russia , China and other countries , depending on context. In Germany, the applicable law is paragraph 86a of the criminal code (StGB), in Poland – Art. 256 of the criminal code (Dz.U. 1997 nr 88 poz. 553). This ban, however, does not apply to swastikas that are of a religious nature, including ones used by Jainism, Hinduism, and Buddhism.
