When the Nazis first hoisted the swastika flag, a symbol totally divorced from German iconography and history, how did people react? I'm especially curious of German as well as British reaction.

This symbol comes out of no where where it was previously mostly used by racial extremists in small clubs along with in India etc as a hindu symbol. So what was the reaction to this sudden sharp cut off of historic German flags and iconography?

The indomitable /u/commiespaceinvader has previously answered Was there any public outrage at the Nazi Party flag becoming the official state flag of Germany?
