The Nazis didn’t use the ‘Swastika’ per se, they used a specific type of swastika called the hooked cross or hakenkreuz. Calling the Nazi cross a swastika brings confusion and disrespects many cultures where the symbol has a meaning diametrically opposite to that of nazi ideology.

In english the Hakenkreuz was always called swastika. That’s the common usage and calling that wrong is pretty pointless.
