Hitler got inspired by the swastika from his Catholic school he attended. I believe I learned this from Europa the Last Battle or the Greatest Story Never Told.
This is actually the origin of the "kike" slur. When Jewish immigrants got off the boat at Ellis Island back in the day, they had to take a citizenship test, and part of the test involved questions like "draw a + through the third word of this sentence" to show they understood sentence structure in English. The Jews instead would always circle the correct answer. When asked "what is this?" their answer was "kikel", the yiddish word for circle. It was their culture to never draw a + sign because it resembled a Christian cross. Obviously the mostly Christian US workers at Ellis Island back then got the lore behind this and weren't real happy about the diss, and started talking about Jewish immigrants in the vein of "oh boy, we got another boatload of kikels in today..." And the term eventually got shortened to "kike" as a reference to these stuck up Jews who hated Christians so much.
Did you guys know jews are so scared of the cross that instead of using the + sign for addition in mathematics, they use an inverted T?
Alright, now that you know how much jews hate crosses let's reevaluate the question about why vampires are scared of crosses...
Cartoon vampires also tend to have long, pointy noses ....

This is fascinating. How did you learn this? There a wiki on this?
