Oh, absolutely - but I expect it could remind some people of a swastika,
especially when you slap it on the side of a bloody Messerschmitt! I think
Pearlman must have known what he was doing - and I think that what he was
doing was flirting with the fetishistic aspects of Nazism, and challenging
taboos. Which are both fair enough! But are sadly open to
misinterpretation.

The alchemical Kronos/Saturn symbol is more like a lower-case "h" with a
cross-bar, but it's broadly similar. I thought the BOC symbol was an
invention, designed to look sinister.
