I would say that's a bit beyond Politically Correct. I can't think of a political organization that wouldn't think the Nazi's weren't pure evil.

Yes, but that was not my point. The swastika has been used by almost every religion on earth, at some point. The swastika has been used in synagogues, and iirc there is even a town in Canada named "Swastika". Reclaiming the symbol back from the nazis is the only right thing to do. The symbol has a history of several thousand years. Too bad it has to be associated with the last bunch of idiots who used it, and not with its original meaning. I can understand that people who managed to escape WW2 alive can be shocked by the symbol, but there arent many of them left.
But, of course, the architect might have been a nazi. The buildings below do look like german eagles if one uses some imagination. Interesting how something constructed during the WW2 was allowed this shape though. Maybe people had other things to focus on.
Or, maybe the lower buildings are supposed to look like bombers, attacking the third reich?
Here is another example, this time a nazi forrest
