    well yes and no.
    it was obviously their official symbol and on their flags, buttons, and everything else.
    But it was also ripped off and meant different things to different cultures for thousands of years.
    but to answer the loaded part of your question:
    Some white supremacist’s use of the crusader cross is not at all like the nazi’s use of the swastika

        Well you’d at least need it to be tattooed onto the chest of the second in command of the worlds largest armed forces in the world, in a country that’s rapidly pivoted towards white Christian nationalism.

        So it’s safe to say this isn’t about white supremacy.
