"He was gone, leaving Winston holding the scrap of paper, which this time
there was no need to conceal. Nevertheless he carefully memorized what
was written on it, and some hours later dropped it into the memory hole along with a mass of other papers."
- 1984 by George Orwell, chapter 14
It is important to educate your readers that German socialists did not call it a swastika, they called it a hakenkreuz (hooked cross) and used the altered version to represent crossed S-letters for "socialism." See the work of the symbologist Dr. Rex Curry.
They also did not call themselves "nazis" they called themselves socialists.
The USA's Pledge of Allegiance (1892) was the origin of the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior, adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers Party. Again, see Dr. Curry's discoveries.
The stiff-armed gesture resulted because Francis Bellamy’s initial gesture was a military salute that was then extended outward to point at the flag. Bellamy was a self-proclaimed American national socialist, as was his cousin Edward Bellamy, and they influenced German national socialists, their dogma, rituals (robotic chanting in unison on command with Nazi salutes) and symbols (swastikas used as crossed S-letters for socialism). The gesture spread to Adolf Hitler via Ernst Hanfstaengl, a Harvard grad and an intimate of Hitler.
There's at least this one examples of the Nazis calling themselves Nazis. http://winstonsmithministryoftruth.blogspot.com/2012/03/another-swastika-star-of-david-medal.html
Antisemitic groups in Germany and Austria were using the hakenkreuz prior to Hitler adopting it. And Hitler's modified version is exactly the same as to what the Russian were using: http://winstonsmithministryoftruth.blogspot.com/2011/05/swastika-on-russian-money.html

I've long been familiar with Dr. Curry's work.
