the part with the truck with the reverse swastika if from the War of Independence and appears in another clip with Auxiliaries rounding up \"suspects\". Nothing to do with the Irish Civil War and the bombardment of the Four Courts. Dublin had a Swastika Laundry company founded in 1912. The symbol was in use long before the Nazis took it as their own.
