Hello,
a swastica is usually standing on one of the flat sides, not on the
corner. It was artwork of Adolf Hitler himself, who had the idea to
change that, and to put a black Hakenkreuz standing on the corner in a
white circle onto red background (referencing the colors of Deutsches
Reich as well as the red background of socialist flags at the same
time). You can see the result here:

'Hakenkreuz' is just the German word for 'swastica'. And yes, I'm a
German native speaker ;-)
The SS runes are the next misunderstanding. They're not standing for
'socialism', they're meaning 'Schutzstaffel' (protection squadron),
because this was the name of an organisation which was originally
founded for guarding Adolf Hitler. They started as bodyguards, and were
developed into as well the organisation who were driving the
Konzentrationslager (concentration camps, and therefore murdering the
prisoners there, implementing the Holocaust) as well as the organisation
who were repressing the people (and peoples) and torturing, as well as a
military organisation of manic killers as special forces. The latter,
the Waffen-SS, were later developed into an army.

Therefore you will not find one single S rune with the Nazis, everytime
there were two of them. Even on typewriters you'll find that pair, i.e.:
