The swastika is a Eurasian ancient religious icon representing divinity and spirituality. Hitler used this symbol (rotated clockwise) as the symbol for Nazism because he thought he was doing a good thing, taking out all the Jews.

The flag is red and white with a black swastika. The red represents the concept of the social movement (Nazi reign), the white represents nationalism toward Nazi Germany, and the black Swastika (which represents peace, divinity, and spirituality) to represent the struggle for Aryan victory.
