I got into watching tank videos today... yup, way down the youtube rabbit hole on my day off... typical.

A thought occurred to me; With the overwhelming prevalence of symbolism used by the nazis, why do none of the WWII era German tanks, ships, planes etc, carry a nazi swastika symbol on them, but instead the battle cross?

I know the American units carried a star, not a flag.

I could spend all day searching for historical concepts and traditions, but I figured out of you huge damn group of autists, one of you would have the answer right at hand.
