1923: Jewish / National Socialist Alliance

The Hakenkreuzler leader referred to in this article is Dr. Walter Reihl (1881-1955).

..

Hakenkreuz is German for swastika, although the literal translation is: Haken = hook, Kreuz = cross

It has been alleged that Hitler adopted the swastika symbol from an earlier antisemitic German

group named Hakenkreuzler, but in Mein Kampf, Hitler describes how he decided on the angle

and proportions of the arms by mid-1920. But an identical swastika to Hitler's swastika, was

used on bank notes in post-February Revolution Russia from 1917.

CHARGES JEWS SEEK HAKENKREUZLER ALLIANCE

Vienna, March 30 (J. T. A.)—According in unconfirmed reports here, a deputation of native Austrian Jews has approached the Hakenkreuzler leader, Riehl, suggesting an allianace between the Jews, the National Socialists and the Hakenkreuzler in order to combat the "East European Jewish danger." 

Although no verification of the report has been forthcoming, no denials have been made by any of native Jewish leaders.
