Azlanek, I would not allow the NSDAP get this victory from beyond the grave. It invokes emotion, and the context must be explained, but perhaps eventually, the people will come to realize that context matters. But cultures who have used the symbol in the past, should continue to use it. Otherwise, we lose. And they win.
The amount of art and culture lost in the war is huge. I would not lose any more to it.
It took me half of the first page to realise what this thread was about...
dem censors, man, they will be the end of me 
Oh, wow, so it's that time again, huh? Let me clarify: This is neither an indian, nor a finn, nor a german, nor a chocolate chip cookie symbol. If you were to grow some eyes, you could read that IT IS A BALTIC SYMBOL.
Hell, i made a thread some time ago, explaining the meaning of the symbol (and announcing my ladder group).
It is the symbol of the Baltic pagan god Perkūnas/Pērkons (literally, Thunder), god of justice and demonhunting, and thus the closest Balts had to a god of war. It is a Thundercross (Pērkonkrusts).
Although it is also sometimes called the cross of Māra (mother-of-everything goddess), for whatever reason.
Ancient Baltic culture is not extinct, both latvians and lithuanians have kept it alive through centuries of opression and attempted cultural extermination. Some ignorant bundle of stickss calling it chocolate chip cookie are far from the worst it has endured.
As for questions if i would wear such to a party or a job interview - yes, i would and do. Using traditional symbolic in t-shirt designs and whatnot is not uncommon over here. We are proud of our heritage.
The symbol is also believed to be have been used for the finnish God of Thunder Ukko (lit. "Old man").
This is found in Copenhagen, outside the old Carlsberg Brewery. Context.
And yes, if you're using the symbol in a website, or somewhere where it's not normal, explaining it is a must. Otherwise it will be associated with YMCA. I wonder what the tourists think about the occasional military parades in Finland. Do they assume we're all chocolate chip cookies?
This is taken outside the largest Church in Helsinki. A popular tourist spot.
Most people I know are fine with cute puppies, if the context is explained.
