mineral said:After all, creating logos with the national emblem (the eagle for the German state, as seen in the Indycop's coin) is at the least a statement of identification with the state. While the eagle has been a German symbol even before the Nazis came along, it wasn't drawn in the same style as the one in the hat logo:

I have seen that eagle on various german army patches and the polizei. I was stationed at Panzer kaserne in germany late 80s. That post was Rommel's headquarters in WW2. The command building still had the eagle on it but the swastika had been sandblasted off. I just think the eagle has been part of germany for a long time, and was just twisted in WW2.
