Interestingly, you're very wrong on that point. The Nazis were deeply involved in all sorts of really absurd pseudoarcheology and whackadoodle mysticism that had been coopted from older religions and warped to fit their ideology. That's why they make such great baddies for Indiana Jones movies. Their swastika was a symbol of several older regions that they thought supported their absurd Aryan dogma.
