So... a thousand years in the future there is a second Hitleresque guy, who looks more or less the same, uses the same symbol, and has no idea who the guy standing in front of him is.

So we're supposed to believe that a second Nazi Party, with the same symbol and a leader who looks exactly like the first one, and that it was a complete coincidence; that this group had no connection whatsoever to the first group, so how would they even know the original Hitler if they saw him.

Really.

Well they should still know historically who Hitler was, if they're basing their entire movement off of his.

Also: Icon love. What's that from?

If they know historically who Hitler was, then they also know that he died a thousand years earlier. He had anyone who knew otherwise killed.

Not exactly... if 1000 years have passed and not many records of the era exist, other than "A Leader" organizing a "Party" using that symbol, and they were inspired by it...

Stranger things have happened. :p

Ah, but note the 'a sleep that nothing could interrupt' panel. That looks an awful lot like a mushroom cloud to me, which could indicate nuclear war. I think the implication is that mankind is doomed to destroy itself over and over again, and following each destruction, it rises again from the ashes to recreate itself in the same pattern, even with versions of the same people. It's some cosmic sorta thang. Therefore, WW2 is doomed to repeat itself endlessly every few thousand years, with Hitler losing each time, and sending himself into the future each time, and being offed by his future counterpart each time, who proceeds to send HIMSELF into the future, and so on, ad infinitum. And the process is neverending, because civilization detroys itself regularly, and with it, all record of the previous Hitlers.

See also, the 45th Infantry Division (http://www.45thdivisionmuseum.com/History/SwastikaToThunderbird.html), based in Oklahoma, which originally used the swastika on its infantry patch because of its history as a Native American symbol. Plus, the Republican Party headquarters in my hometown operated out of a downtown storefront that had little swastika tiles in a very old mosaic on its doorstep. They're everywhere!

Well that symbol has a different meaning in many cultures and if Hitler hadn't used it then it wouldn't have gained a bad connotation.

The "Blade of the Immortal" manga had a disclaimer page explaining the "reverse swastika" that Manji wears.

It used to be a good luck symbol, for most, till Hitler stole it and stained it for all time. There is, or was, a clothing store near Steppenwolf Theatre that had been around since the 20s, and its floor tiles were all swastikas. Nothing to do with Nazis. Just a design fad.

There's a page at the beginning of the story that volksjager didn't include that involves some crazed hobo giving the same speech to present Hitler that present Hitler eventually gave to future Hitler, with the obvious idea that the crazed hobo is 1000 years past Hitler and that history is doomed to repeat itself, even for Hitler.

And that crazed hobo... was Heinrich I (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_castle_wolfenstein#Heinrich_I)!

Hey we forgot what Jesus looked like inside 2000 years.

And the symbol is totally reversed. It may just be a wild coincidence. Either that, or future Hitler is actually the real Hitler, sent back in time cause he figured it would be easier to conquer the world in the primitive 20th century, but a freak accident in the chamber left him with no memories of his past and now he has a circle of ironic death going on.

If you look closely, you'll see his swastika goes the other way.

Everything else is pure coincidence.
