“The Girls’ Club of America” used the Swastika before the Nazis. It was originally a sign of good fortune and good health used by new age health types. Much closer to how we think of the Peace symbol.
That’s why The Nazis used it, it had youth appeal and good sentiment. The Nazis advertised themselves as being a health and good living movement. That’s part of where their love of healthy ideal bodies and features came from.
They believed in hiking, and young people forming bands, and camping and practicing music and singing and marching in alpine hikes. All very wholesome healthy stuff.
We know now what they were, but they were seen very differently at the time.
Given the time frame it was published it wouldn’t surprise me if there was something where they got referenced at least. Dr. Seuss and Disney had a lot of war comics I know.
Wasn’t she a nazi in one of the other comics?

Good thing we know better now. gestures at RFK and the way he talks about MAHA.

The only reference I can find related to that says she was adopted to be part of the French resistance (not by the original artist(s).)
Mafalda from Argentina looks similar, but again nothing about being a Nazi that I can find.
