fylfot

Hitler appropriated the symbol and inverted it so that the bent “s” structures face a reverse direction from the Christian fylfot cross.

Known as fylfot cross, the swastikas are one of four variations of the Christian cross found in the church’s entryway.

Take the ancient Gaulish coins, for instance, and the fylfot and ordinary Greek cross abound; take the ancient British coins of the age long prior to Christianity, and the same thing occurs.

On Scandinavian coins, as well as those of Gaul, the fylfot cross appears, as it also does on those of Syracuse, Corinth, and Chalcedon.

I have remarked that the fylfot is sometimes described as being formed of four gammas conjoined in the centre.
