It's a little bit different. The swastica was a very common symbol for fortune for a long time in many countries and used by many peoples. You can find swasticas i.e. in China, in Japan, in India, in Tibet, in Greece. It's even older than the Indogermans are, i.e. you can find swasticas with the Vinča culture: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vin%C4%8Da_culture> The Aryans were a people living in Iran and India. The Nazi ideology misinterpreted history and derived (and created) a story of an "Aryan race" (as you're stating), while there never was such a race.
