Nazi Battle Flag and UFWA Flag

Nazi Reichsadler (Reich Eagle)

The UFW is a part of the Chicano political movement and a part of the greater “La Raza” movement. It’s just one example of the similar symbolism and concepts that La Raza shares with Nazi ultra nationalism.

The eagle in the UFW flag, however, still looks more like a Nazi reichsadler than a Mexican eagle.

This is an article in Life Magazine from 1940 about the Nazi influence in Mexico and Mexican collaborators. One of the most important collaborators again was Jose Vasconcelos, an important Mexican, educator, writer, philosopher and cultural figure.
