The Iron Cross was "adopted" by car and motorcycle clubs in the USA after World War II. 60's surfers used it. Later the skateboarders picked up on it. Sort of a medal of bravery type of thing....?

I can understand it probably has different connotations in Europe. But note that the Iron Cross predates the Nazi's (goes back to the early 1800's I think).

Well we are getting off the subject of the Volcanos here. Surfraptor, just know that the Iron Cross was a part of post World War II American sub-cultures like hot-rods, bikers, surfers, etc. The Iron Cross as a war medal goes back to the 1800's, long before the Nazi's took over Germany. The Iron Cross, as a symbol by itself, meant something before and after the Nazi's used it. I'm not here to defend it, but it was a symbol used in 60's surfing culture in AMERICA. I can understand the uncomfortable feelings (or worse) it may produce in some.

And I can add that as a Jew, I feel no particular offense by the use of the german cross. Symbols change with time, and to diminish the meaning of Nazi symbols is particularly gratifying.

What a timely bump for a great band, since just yesterday pulled out Finish Line Fever to listen to in the car. It almost prompted me to make a new thread about underrated Surf bands...but they really aren't underrated . . . just one more excellent group that maybe gets lost in the shuffle. I consider both of their albums must haves. The Volcanos are way up on my list of faves.

hoping for a new cd by these guys and possibly an appearance at the SG101
convention some time.
