Haha, certainly not in 1941 :/ Geez. This must be referring to some
non-German juristiction. In Germany, the § 86 of the German
Strafgesetzbuch, titled "Verbreiten von Propagandamitteln verfassungswidriger
Organisationen", is forbidding symbols of organisations that are
non-constitutional http://dejure.org/gesetze/StGB/86.html.
Here an overview about forbidden symbols:

http://www.hagalil.com/deutschland/rechts/erkennungszeichen/rechtsextremismus.htm
What people are doing is to use kind of similar symbols to circumvent trouble.
There are edit distances in the writing, birth dates, positions of letters in
the alphabeth, ... did you know that the London shirt company Lonsdale has
the letter NSDA in their name? They are selling a real lot for that reason.
Package whatever you want. But value your time. And value your intellect.
