Default Is this where holden got their SS badges from

Just happened to come across the original 'SS' logo from nazi germany.


I thought.. hey, this looks familiar where do i remember this from? Didnt I see this badge ironically on that Highway Patrol car I just passed..



Seems Holden likes to look to Germany for inspiration.. first with the recycled Opel designs, now this .

I have no sympathy for Nazism at all, but damn their uniforms and symbolism was awesome. That one with the eagle carrying the swastika is my favourite. It reeks of badness and evil, but I love it.

Well said.. I reckon Holden has always had that bad bloke, tough guy image associated, so they wouldnt have seen this connotation as negative. Kudos to them anyway.
