Sma Station

[Julien Seveon]

The Swastika can be found in every civilisation from the ancient Celts, to 
India, Japan... The Basque Country national symbol is a swastika... Hitler 
took this ancient European sign as a symbol for his movement. It doesn't 
have any connection with the oriental swastika.
