	Hitler took concepts from many occult groups, and twisted them based on
his concept of the Germanic peoples being the only true humans, and the
others of what we term "humanity" are really subhumans, similar to the
apes. He twisted noble ideas into horrible and evil mockeries of the
originals. Theosophy was one of the sources of those ideas, as was the
OTO.

	There were a number of early Nazi supporters in the Theosophical
Society, until the Nazi's showed their true colors.

	I didn't say a substitute; I said it was to COUNTERACT the swastika as
a symbol.
