Guys im doing some study and i can find symbols for hitler but not napoleon.

We all know that hitler used stole the Swastika for his own but in the book Nicholas J. O'Shaughnessy Politics and Propaganda: Weapons of Mass Seduction Shaughnessy suygests that both hitler and napoleon uses pseudo classical symbols.

My quetion is i cant find any symbols for napoleo. Did he use anything?

the use of the german imperial eagle predates hitler by several hundred years. the eagles issued by Napoleon were regimental standards and he got the idea from the romans.

The Eagle was and is used as heraldry almost everywhere in central and eastern europe
