I'm curious if the nazis actually used the word 'swastika' or did they just say 'hooked cross'

"When the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the remains of the lost city of Troy in 1871, his famous excavation uncovered around 1,800 instances of the swastika, a motif that could also be found amid the archaeological remains of Germanic tribes."

Firstly Swastika has had many names around the globe in all it's history this doesn't normally means that it's meaning also differed. The Symbol of the Nazi party is called Hakenkreuz (Hooked Cross) this isn't really unique alot of words in German language are kinda like this, German uses very straightforward and simple terms to describe anything.
At the end whatever you call it the symbol that Nazi party adopted had the same meaning of goodness which is logical cause Nazi party from the point of view of Nazi party was a very good thing
