This is a poster that compares the earliest meaning of various symbols to the Nazi "rebranding" of them.
For the Odal Rune they compare its original meaning (the recombining of lands that had been divided by inheritance) to the Nazi attempt combine the rune's reference to wealth, property, and inheritance into notions of a "racial nobility."
