Yep, they were a good luck symbol before WWII. Once in a film history class, before watching a silent film, the professor warned us that there were scenes with swastikas used as good luck symbols so no one would get upset over it, and sure enough one of the word card screens had them decorating the card along with 4 leaf clovers and such. It was interesting to see.
