expose frightening features of American history and Christian Socialism.
The leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party was thought
by many people to consider himself a Christian. In the historic film
"Triumph of the Will," the leader of the National Socialist German
Workers' Party states: "The Party will be like a religious order."

The Hakenkreuz (hooked cross) was an ancient religious symbol in
Germany, related to the un-hooked cross and to the Prussian-German Iron
cross and to other crosses. The Nazi alteration of the Hakenkeuz increased
its visual similarity to the Iron Cross.

The swastika became known as the Socialist Cross because of Christian
Socialists in the USA, including Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge
of Allegiance") and Edward Bellamy (author of "Looking Backward"). Edward
Bellamy and his movement teamed up with the Theosophical Society,
a group that used the swastika as a symbol in their socialist movement.

The swastika was used to denote overlapping S-letters for "socialism"
in the USA and later under the National Socialist German Workers Party
and elsewhere, as shown in the research of the noted historian Dr. Rex Curry
(author of "Swastika Secrets"). The German socialist symbol was turned 45
degrees counter-clockwise and was always oriented in the S-direction. The
double-S letters of the hooked cross also denoted the "Society of Socialists"
and the dogma of self-sacrifice (under both Christianity and socialism), even
to the ultimate degree (the cross or crucifix was used as a means of execution
and/or self sacrifice). It also gained quasi-religious status as the
cross of socialism through its use in the worship of government and socialism.

The National Socialist German Workers’ Party did not call their symbol
a swastika. Americans also did not refer to it always as a swastika.
To call the German symbol a swastika now is slander to similar-looking symbols
used by other cultures.
German socialists referred to their symbol as a type of cross. The German
socialist symbol should be called the "Socialist Cross."
It is interesting to note that the name of the movement "Society of
Christian Socialists" also had the repeated S-letters in its name, in another
parallel to the overlapping S-symbolism of the swastika.
Edward Bellamy understood the German language and the term "Hakenkreuz."
From 1868 to 1869, Edward Bellamy spent a year in Germany, learning to
speak and write German and attending lectures and studying German socialism.
Edward Bellamy even wrote A
Süd Deutsch Volklied (South
German Peoples' Song) in German on the inside cover of his notebook (dated
Jan. 4, 1878, see Arthur Morgan's
Edward Bellamy from Columbia
University Press 1944).

Edward's brother Frederick stated that Edward had talked and
read about socialism before Edward went to Germany. Frederick wrote that
Edward's letters to him from Germany were full of German socialism which
"he had read and studied much at home." (see Sylvia E. Bowman's 1958 book
The Year 2000).
While Bellamy was in Germany, the first German unions were founded
and the German Workers' Party (Die Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) issued its
program of socialist cliches that Bellamy repeated in his bestseller (
Looking
Backward) and his other writings for the rest of his life. The
German Workers' Party was the Party that later added the very phrase
"National Socialism" to the front of its name and became the Nazis (the
National Socialist German Workers' Party or Nationalsozialistische Deutsche
Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP ). The ominous parallel of Bellamy ideas and
U.S. socialists can be seen in the 25 point program of the NSDAP.
Edward later wrote in support of socialism, "It was in the great
cities of Europe and among the hovels of the peasantry that my eyes were
first fully opened to the extent and consequences of 'man's inhumanity
to man.'" But Edward died in 1898, and did not witness the worst
of man's inhumanity to man in the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust
was a part): the National Socialist German Workers' Party (21 million);
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (62 million people slaughtered);
the People's Republic of China (35 million). The invasion of Poland
in WWII occurred in 1939, with the National Socialist German Workers’ Party
and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as allies in their scheme to
divide up Europe. It was preceded by Hitler's 1936 invasion of the
Rhineland and the Sudetenland.
Another result of Dr. Curry's work is the frightening discovery that
the straight-arm salute was created by a self-proclaimed National Socialist
in the USA (Francis Bellamy) who was also head of the "Society of Christian
Socialists" in the USA and involved with a socialist group that used
the swastika as its symbol (the Theosophical Society).
