animalracer reminded me of something when he said rodders and surfers used the iron cross because it was a cool symbol, no more, no less.

He reminded me, I think it was the blue deuce 3 window on the beach boys album that had a swastika, the nazi symbol, on the blower pulley. I think it was even in a magazine like that, and then everyone made a big fuss (it wasn't even 20 years after ww2) and it was quickly removed.
