The sickle and hammer was the flag of the Soviet Union and the swastika the flag of Nazi Germany.
World War II was primarily fought between the Allies and the Axis powers. The Allies included countries like the United States (Stars and Stripes), the Soviet Union (Hammer and Sickle), the United Kingdom (Union Jack), and China (Five-starred Red Flag). The Axis powers were led by Germany (Black, Red, and White with the Swastika), Italy (Tricolor with the Fasces), and Japan (Nisshoki, or Rising Sun Flag). The conflict lasted from 1939 to 1945 and involved many nations across the globe.
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.
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.
