[Nazi Germany] What were the reasons to use the swastika and the raised right arm as symbols for the nazi party? Is there a certain protocol or document where those reasons are mentioned?

I didn't find an answer in the Reddit wiki, so I hope my question is somewhat original and new. I just wondered when this decision was made and what the reasons were. Although I'm quite literate about most backgrounds and the zeitgeist, this is a detail I could not find a convincing source for. Thank you all in advance!
