Yes, it is.        That's what it was called later  Not neccessarily

Before Hitler chose it to be the "nazi-sign" it was a luck charm...
Isn't used as one any longer though...

But considering that anonymous (kewl name btw) called it JEWISH good
luck charm, I guess he's a dumbshit goddam racist...

Yes, it was also used by the American Indians. It was the
stylized symbol of the Thunderbird.  The 45th Inf. Division
used it as their insignia, which was changed about you-know-when
and for you-know-why.

It was a popular good luck symbol, prior to the advent of hostilities.

Probably.

The "clockwise" version is male and the "anticlockwise" version is
female, IIRC...

I actually think the swastika is a pretty nice symbol, if you can only
ignore the nazis' perversion of it and see it as just a graphic (not
easy).

Yep, it's a Hindu religious symbol.  The version I saw was going clockwise and
had dots around it.  Also, some terminology:

  Female swastika = arms going clockwise (see below)
  Male swastika   = arms going anti-clockwise (see above)
