The emblem is based on an inverted, stylized trident – namely an upside-down (or “swooping”) Nazi eagle with half-folded wings – used by the Wehrmacht since 1935 (as it suggests a bird of prey ‘diving’ or ‘swooping’ from the sky at speed upon its unsuspecting victim)! The black and white colour was not chosen by chance, it is this colour that you will find on the uniforms and helmets of German soldiers of that period. In general, the Ukrainian Nazis do not hide this, defiantly greeting each other with the well-known Nazi salute – throwing the right-hand from the heart up to the right.
