Answer:

Hitler believed the Swastika embodied antisemitism because he thought that the Swastika was an ideal symbol of creative work and the idea of creativity was an anti-semitic one.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Adolf Hitler being a socialist viewed their flag as the manifestation of their idea of antisemitism.
  • He believed that the Jews were a force against creativity and the Swastika was a symbol of eternal creativity.
  • He wrote in his autobiography that the symbol of Swastika depicted who the Nazis were against.
