Did nazis adopt the swastika and nazi salutes from American national socialists? The swastika was on American cars (e.g. the Krit Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan from 1909 to 1915) years before it was associated with German cars and the Volkswagen VW. Earlier, the use of the swastika by American national socialists began with Edward Bellamy (in 1888 or before). Edward Bellamy was the cousin and cohort of Francis Bellamy, author of the "Pledge of Allegiance" (PoA), the origin of the stiff-armed salute in 1892. Did Krit and the Bellamys influence use of the swastika by the National Socialist German Workers Party? Many Krit cars were exported to Europe and Australia. On December 29, 1914, a New York Times newspaper article states that WWI was responsible for the bankruptcy of the Krit Motor Car Company, to wit: "Lack of business, due to the European war, is given as the cause of the failure." That means an American car company was the first to put swastikas on cars in Europe. Krit produced bus / truck models that could carry 15 people. Were Krit buses / trucks used in WWI by German military, by the free corps (freikorps), or the Ehrhard Brigade? Did Hitler see Krit cars or even ride in them?
