Doesn't have anything to do with "peace" AFAIK, for it's a sun symbol. And for many, it's a good deal more auspicious with the feet of the gammadion going the other way, so the symbol is "walking" sunwise. Everybody but the Nazis used it with one foot flat on the floor, while the Nazis made use of it cocked at forty-five degrees.

As a sign of trouble and doom, it'd be hard to beat a sun-symbol, black, going backwards.
