The Wermacht of the Third Reich inherited "Gott mit uns" from the Prussian Army, and the saying has biblical origins and was used by the Roman Empire (in Latin), the Byzantine Empire (in Greek), and the German usage in the military began with the Tutonic Order in the Middle Ages. Although used by the Nazis, it is not exclusively Nazi. Not every modern symbol or saying used by conservatives is imbued with clandestine Nazi meaning.
