<BR>Without looking at the particular Barks books, and assuming you are talking
<BR>about the swastika rather than the iron cross; the Nazis "borrowed" this
<BR>widely used symbol from other cultures. Many native American cultures used
<BR>this in their artwork. Prior to WW2, it may not have any nazi meaning
<BR>(indeed, the ACE pulp magazine company used it as their cover emblem in the
<BR>1930s).
