The sickle and hammer was the flag of the Soviet Union and the swastika the flag of Nazi Germany.
Ever since the Nazi Party adopted the swastika, many countries have banned public display of it. Including: Hungary, it is a criminal misdemeanour to publicly display "totalitarian symbols", including the swastika, the SS insignia and the Arrow Cross, punishable by fine. Display for academic, educational, artistic or journalistic reasons is allowed. Also the communist symbols of hammer and sickle and the red star are also regarded as a totalitarian symbols and have the same restriction by Hungarian criminal law. In Poland, public display of Nazi symbols, including the Nazi swastika, is a criminal offence punishable by up to eight years in jail. Germany, there are little to no exception on publicly displaying the swastika and is punishable by, no more than 3 years in prison. The swastikas on Hindu and Jain temples are exempt, as religious symbols cannot be banned. Asia, as I said above religious symbols cannot be banned. Today there are many religious uses of the swastika in many asian countries. Brazil, in Brazil the use of, or distribution of any Nazi symbol or swastika is punishable by a two to five years prison term and a fine.
The flag with the weird gear and and star on it was the Israeli flag, also known as the star of David.
Commie, or Red. The word Bolshevik has also been applied to Communists other than Russian Communists.
Battle of DunkirkFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Battle of Dunkirk was a battle in the Second World War between the Allies and Germany. A part of the Battle of France on the Western Front, the Battle of Dunkirk was the defence and evacuation of British and allied forces in Europe from 24 May to 4 June 1940.After the Phoney War, the Battle of France began in earnest on 10 May 1940. To the east, the German Army Group B invaded and subdued the Netherlands and advanced westwards through Belgium. In response, the Supreme Allied Commander French General Maurice Gamelin initiated "Plan D" which relied heavily on the Maginot Line fortifications. Gamelin committed the forces under his command, three mechanised armies, the French First and Seventh and the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) to the River Dyle. On 14 May, German Army Group A burst through the Ardennes and advanced rapidly to the west toward Sedan, then turned northwards to the English Channel, in what Generalfeldmarschall Erich von Manstein called the "sickle cut" (known as "Plan Yellow" or the Manstein Plan), effectively flanking the Allied forces.
The Maya are a race that has existed for about 3,000 years. In this large time span much has happened. The Maya have built temples, learned how to use the land, hunt, and much more. This page will only feature a small part in this races history, their battle. Upon a field hundreds maybe thousands of fearless soldiers grasp in they're hands spears of wood with obsidian tips, shields beautifully decorated with colorful feathers of red, yellow, green, and blue. Arrows fly through the air, whizzing past the heads of their foes this is a Mayan battle taking place. In the ninth century the Mayan empire collapsed into a heap of destruction and war. Chaos rained over the Yucatan peninsula and the Maya lifestyle was changed forever. Maya warfare was mostly about gods, not about tactics although they did use some war tactics. The god of war, Sun jaguar was the main Maya god. Before every battle warriors would ask for his help in the battle. The spiritual part of battle was used just as much as the material part of battle. When the conqueror of Guatemala, Pedro de Alvarado fought the Quiche Maya in 1523 they charged him disguised as eagles and lightning only to be brought down by the superior Spanish forces. Weapons were needed in warfare unless you were using your bare fists. Some of their spectacular weapons were: 1. Bow and Arrow A projectile weapon used for long range combat. This weapon was created approxamatly 2,500 years ago. 2. Knife A close range blade used for stabbing. 3. Spear An either close or long range weapon. It is a long pole with a blade at the tip. It could be thrown or used as a sabbing weapon. 4. Atlatl (spear thrower) A device used for throwing the spear. The spear was placed in a groove on the Atlatl then the atlatl was strapped to the arm. After throwing the spear the tip of the spear (a dart) was projected out of the spear into the pray. After the battle was over the spear part (not the dart) could be retrived. 5. Club (maquahuitl) This was somewhat like a log used to crush the enemy, not stab them. The club was widely used. 6. Sickle A curved blade used for cutting grass. It could also be used for battle. This is how Maya fought and what they used for fighting.
Some people just thing the swastika looks cool. Personally, I think that the Red Army hammer and sickle looks cool. ^^
the unity of agricultural workers and industrial workers.

A hammer and sickle
The hammer represents the workers and the sickle represents the peasant farmers of the country. Both workers and peasants together with disgruntled soldiers were responsible for the overthrow of the Tsar as well as the later overthrow of the Provisional Government by the Bolsheviks.

The hammer and sickle symbol was created during the Russian Revolution in a contest held to create a Soviet emblem. The hammer and sickle signifies the socialist alliance of the industrial working class and the peasants. Yevgeny Ivanovich Kamzolkin won the contest with his entry:
The symbol of the hammer and sickle represents the unity between industrial and agricultural workers in communist ideology. The hammer symbolizes industrial laborers, while the sickle represents agricultural workers. Together, they symbolize the working class unity in pursuit of a socialist society.
the national symbol of Russia is a two headed eagle.
