Default Audi symbol related to Olympic rings via Nazism (National SocialistGerman Workers Party)

The symbol of the Olympic Games is five interlocking rings and similar
to the Audi symbol. It influenced the Audi symbol and is related to
other symbolism under the National Socialist German Workers Party.

They Olympic ring symbol was originally designed in 1912 by Baron
Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games.

In his article published in the "Olympic Revue" the official magazine
of the International Olympic Committee in November 1992, the American
historian Robert Barney explains that the idea of the interlaced rings
came to Pierre de Coubertin when he was in charge of the USFSA, an
association founded by the union of two French sports associations and
until 1925, responsible for representing the International Olympic
Committee in France: The emblem of the union was two interlaced rings
(like the vesica piscis typical interlaced marriage rings) and
originally the idea of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung because for him
the ring meant continuity and the human being.

According to De Coubertin the different ring colors with the white
background stand for those colors that appeared on all the national
flags of the world at that time.

The 1914 Congress had to be suspended due to the outbreak of World War
I, but the symbol (and flag) were later adopted. They would first
officially debut at the VIIth Olympiad in Antwerp, Belgium in 1920.

The symbol's popularity and wide use began during the lead-up to
the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin under the National Socialist German
Workers Party. The rings would subsequently be featured prominently in
German National Socialist (Nazi) images in 1936 as part of an effort
to glorify the union of socialists and socialist groups under Adoph
Hitler, and is related to the joined rings for Audi cars and to the
use of the swastika which, although an ancient symbol, was used to
reperesent joined S-letters for "socialism" under the National
Socialist German Workers Party, as shown by the symbologist Dr. Rex
Curry (author of "Swastika Secrets"). http://rexcurry.net/swastika-audi-logo.JPG

The Olympic ring symbol was used to promote Leni Riefenstahl's Olympic
work, including the movie "Olympia." http://rexcurry.net/olympic-rings-symbol-audi.jpg

The official Olympic salute originated in the USA's Pledge of
Allegiance, which used a stiff-armed salute, and was also the origin
of the gesture adopted later under German National Socialism.

Francis Bellamy (author of the Pledge) was cousin and cohort of Edward
Bellamy and they were both national socialists in the United States
long before their dogma to Germany and worldwide. The Bellamys
and socialist schools in the United States influenced German National
Socialism, its dogma, symbols and rituals.
