How much of Nazi iconography came from Hitler?
score:6
World does not know much about this topic, but we for sure know that Nazi flag was created by Adolf Hitler himself:
In 1920, Adolf Hitler decided that the Nazi Party needed its own insignia and flag. For Hitler, the new flag had to be "a symbol of our own struggle" as well as "highly effective as a poster." (Mein Kampf, pg. 495). Nazi Germany flag that was used from 1933 - 1945 was created by Adolf Hitler and it was one of the main icons of Nazi Germany. It was defined by Adolf Hitler: The red represents the social idea of the Nazi movement, the white disk represents the national idea, and the black swastika, used in Aryan cultures for millennia, represents "the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man, and, by the same token, the victory of creative work".

Most of it was not invented by Hitler at all, but was already beloved by Germany's military and right wing. In World War One, the swastika wasn't used officially, but was unofficially painted on the sides of German tanks and aeroplanes; the Iron Cross went back a century; the death's-head insignia that the SS adopted can be seen on the shakos of a German unit called the Imperial Death's-Head Hussars; the red, white and black color scheme of the Third Reich's flags were the same colors as Imperial Germany's (and there was quite a lot of discussion between the world wars about which colors the flag should be, with a lot of contempt from the right wing for the red, white and gold of Weimar Germany); and the eagle was a long-standing symbol of Germany.
So it isn't actually as if Hitler or his satraps thought "hey, we should bring back this thing from history." All of these icons had already been well-established in German military and right-wing circles throughout the imperial and Weimar years, through the time when Hitler came to power.
