cause nazis celebrated those ancient pre- christian traditions.
even their symbol is taken from this there:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastikaits very sympatic old believes, they give less abuse potential to humans then monotheism.
this dont mean that they are more peaceful. look india, they have such a believe. fighting them means coming home boxed.
however, present fascists still celebrate those. as a form of political irony it survives everything if u ask me.
the swastika has a narrow connection to the sun, which solstice is all about. Sun its the most holy thing around.
cute neonazis kids use old ting locations to march in cycles with torches at solstice dates.
100 km from here is the biggest, called externsteine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externsteinethese are very important cause romans couldnt destroy them.
theres somehow 1 hole in that stones where the sun just shine through on summer solstice day aka "esoteric viking calendar generator"
in fact all ideologies are directly concurrating with existing religions, the goal is always replacement.
fascists in germany had a strong hate on everything connected to moses.
jews as a minority had the worst fate, christian churches were "just" expropriated.
