Amusingly enough, that woman's use of unfounded fear tactics is extremely similar to a typical fascist propoganda movement. She relied on buzzwords and targeted a readily visible group of people (people with Iron Crosses and spiked collars tend to stand out).

Gotta love stupid people.
I believe that the 'good luck' swastika was reversed, hitler reversed the original to denote the nazi-fascist government he had created.

I'm probably just going to keep typing until I run out of things to babble about and see how many people actually read this. I once ran down a hill, fell down and hurt my elbow; my mom said I would be ok, she kissed it and made it all better. I've run out of things to say now, so if you have read this whole thing, congratulations you get a gold star!
