Flag of the Volksdeutsche 7th SS Volunteer Mountain Division Prinz Eugen.
Insignias of the 7th SS Volunteer Mountain Division Prinz Eugen and the 23rd SS Volunteer Panzer Grenadier Division Nederland.
The rendition of the Odal rune with wings or feet (serifs) was the emblem of ethnic Germans (Volksdeutsche) of the 7th SS Volunteer Mountain Division Prinz Eugen operating during World War II in the Nazi Germany-sponsored Independent State of Croatia. This rendition has been used by the Neo-Nazi Wiking-Jugend in Germany, and in South Africa by the Anglo-Afrikaner Bond, the Boeremag, the Blanke Bevrydingsbeweging,[5] and the Italian neo-fascist group National Vanguard. This particular rendition has no historical significance outside of Nazi Germany. Because of its Nazi associations, Strafgesetzbuch 86a bans any usage of the Odal rune as with most other symbols if used in a Neo-Nazi context.
Another version with arrows on the end was used by the 23rd SS Volunteer Panzer Grenadier Division Nederland.

It's a dog-whistle for those with a penchant for such things, like our proliferation of militias...

And the Jewish trump supporters. I don't get how they're able to overlook blatant nazism.

I feel sure that the majority of the people there are too ignorant to know this.
