Not generally called a 'swastika'?

I would say it was. After Hitler made the Hakencruiz the public symbol of Nazi Germany, it pretty much branded this particular visual display.

For good reason the German government has banned it. It is a loaded symbol, and Neo-Nazi groups all over the world use it.

Not to say it shouldn't be part of a historical game like IL-2, but in any other context it is highly suspect.
