Its been illegal for Germans to have a Swastika of any kind,
Since the end of the war.....
It had a mandatory sentence of something like 5 years in prison.....

I was told this by the fellow at the URALLA war museum..
Thats where I took this pic....

A bit different to this... pic....

so I don't think spinning a kombi badge round would
turn it into a swastika....

unless You were on some kind of drugs....

then it could turn into lotsa different things... LOL...

I doubt if this will be shown to be true.

Interestingly enough the BMW symbol is meant to represent a spinning aeroplane propellor. (BMW made the 601 series of inverted V12 engines for the Messerschmidt Bf109s etc.) I never believed that until recently, when a BMW passed me at just the right speed and there they were, a spinning propellor on each hub cap.

I wasnt being n*entirely honest when I said there was none... when you spin it, you can see what looks to be the outer arms of the swastika spinning... however it isnt a clearly defined one that just sits there... as i said... like a spinning swastika.... but blurry in the middle, so you only see the outside bits. Hope Im making a bit of sense 😂

more VW engines in the air than BMW ones hehe... ultralights often use modified 1600's. 😂

maybe the swastika is actually supposed to resemble a propeller hehe.... or signify the German's prowess with regards to aviation development... swastika is a symbol of nazi germany, which ccommisioned duilding of high-tech experimantal aircraft during the war, which is linked to Hitler's war, which is linked to Hitler, who is linked to VW's... and shit... Im making no sense.... jeebuz... I cant even understand my self! :duh.... time for me to get some air...

OOPS!! Sorry. Yes the Bf109 had the Daimler Benz engines. The BMW engine was the radial engine in the Focke Wulfe 190s.

speed you can see a swastika on the hubcap of a beetle is 37 mph

thats 60k, a pretty common limit in metro areas, someone would have seen it.

if my head still works that would be around 500rpm with stock tires assuming that the weight of the car squashing the tire is countered by centrifugal force closely.
