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