Swastika is NOT a german word. Germans call this symbol "Hakenkreuz". I would agree, though, that the translator made a mistake, since swastika is a sanscrit word, and the symbol is known as manji in japanese culture. Either way, the symbol itself has been around for thousands of years, and the nazi´s only borrowed/stole it. Yes, the issue is sensitive - but imagine they had used a circle, a triangle or a cross instead, would this mean that no artist could draw such basic symbols anymore without being suspected? Still, I am curious if and how this chapter will survive censorship.
