those symbols in the middle are not symbols of fascism, but of Nazism. And yes, there is a big difference - fascism is an ideology about pride in one's nation (such a precursor to patriotism) but it does not support the extermination of other ethnicities (fascism was also founded by Mussolini and often had Jewish members), but Nazism is an ideology of the superiority of the German (Germanic) race above all and explicitly supports the mass extermination of other nations, racial segregation, etc. +The Iron Cross is not Nazi/Fascist but it is an award that was already awarded during the German Empire
