The twentieth century German Nazi Party was notable for its extensive use of graphic symbolism, most notably the Hakenkreuz (swastika), which it used as its principal symbol, and, in the form of the swastika flag, became the state flag of Nazi Germany.
Other Nazi symbols included:
- the eagle atop swastika, the formal symbol of the Nazi party
- the SS bolts, the symbol of the SS
- various runes or rune-like symbols, such as the odal rune
- the black SS uniform
- the brown shirts of the Sturmabteilung
- the death's head insignia of the SS-Totenkopfverbände and concentration camp units
- Adolf Hitler's personal standard
