Context: The company is German and has been around long enough (120 years) to have seen it used as a hate symbol during WW2.

    As posted previously, they changed the symbol from a more traditional medical cross to this WW2 Nazi emblem cross.

    I’m not offended, nor do I intend to offend. I thought it was funny. Sheesh.

      Dude stop calling it a WW2 Nazi cross unless you want to call the current German military also Nazis for using the Balkenkreuz.

      Please go educate yourself before you make such wild claims.

        I’ve merely pointed out that Nazis used it on pretty much every military vehicle, more so than swastikas.

        unless you want to call the current German military also Nazis for using the Balkenkreuz.

        Does this look remotely similar to you??

        In any case, it was a post I made from a funny observation. You can calm down now. It’s really not that important.
