It isn't a 'Hitler complex' to associate the swastika with nazism or Hitler or the holocaust. The symbol may once have meant peace but it now means much worse. Just like if you show someone a cross today they won't think of capital punishment or crime but instead of Christianity, Jesus, etc. Here the opposite has happened, perhaps, but it has nonetheless happened and as long as history remembers Adolf Hitler it will remember the swastika as he has stained it: a symbol of fascism, totalitarianism and inhuman cruelty. You cannot change this, nor should you want to. In fact the image you supplied here intends for the viewer to associate the swastika with Nazism and from there to provoke the viewer to see the similarities in the Nazis in the United States and Great Britain, both of which are guilty (especially the US with regard to slaves and native peoples) of truly despicable acts against fellow humans (though to be fair not at all with the same vigor, uniformity and scale of Hitler's regime.)
