The Nazis' principal symbol was the swastika, which the newly established Nazi Party formally adopted in 1920. [1] The formal symbol of the party was the Parteiadler, an eagle atop a swastika. The black-white-red motif is based on the colours of the flags of the German Empire.

Outside of Nazism, use of swastikas pre-dates the German Third Reich by some 3,000 years. [5] [6]
