In 1920, Adolf Hitler decided that the Nazi Party needed its own insignia and flag. For Hitler, the new flag had to be a symbol of their struggle as well as "highly effective as a poster".

Hitler had a convenient but spurious reason for choosing the hooked cross. It had been used by the Aryan nomads of
India in the second millennium.

In Nazi theory, the Aryans were of German ancestry, and Hitler concluded that the swastika had been eternally anti-semitic.

Actually from what I have read about Hitler, he was trying to make his own mark in the party politics after he was turned away by the Academy of fine arts in Vienna when he aspired to become an artist. the symbol of Swastika was painted on the outside garden walls of a house he used to often pass by and that somehow remained in his mind. When he created the symbol, that memory must have surfaced and he created the Nazi Swastika, which is actually an exact opposite image of the real Swastika used in ancient cultures such as Hinduism, Buddhism etc.
