Both, just like the swastika, it was used by nazis. According to wiki, adolf Bought it back into use.

I would say it's recognisable as a nazi symbol, not as much as the swastika but up there.

the thing that makes it look a bit nazi is the colours imo , the non nazis germans still use the iron cross as well as other ogranisations/groups but red black and white are the nazi colours

Most people are clearly morons

really ? what do you associate it with then ? and everything has an association with something

Seems it's used today by the German military, so not a Nazi thing really

Semi-related, does anyone else think the black and white "+" symbol of the Luftwaffe looks awesome on WW2 planes? :p I always liked it.

Adolf Hitler restored the Iron Cross in 1939 as a German decoration (rather than Prussian as in earlier versions), continuing the tradition of issuing it in various grades. Legally it is based on the enactment (Reichsgesetzblatt I S. 1573[4]) of 1 September 1939 Verordnung über die Erneuerung des Eisernen Kreuzes (Regulation for the Re-introduction of the Iron Cross). The Iron Cross of the Second World War was divided into three main series of decorations with an intermediate category, the Knight's Cross, instituted between the lowest, the Iron Cross, and the highest, the Grand Cross. The Knight's Cross replaced the Prussian Pour le Mérite or "Blue Max". Hitler did not care for the Pour le Mérite, as it was a Prussian order that could be awarded only to officers. The ribbon of the medal (2nd class and Knight's Cross) was different from the earlier Iron Crosses in that the color red was used in addition to the traditional black and white (black and white were the colours of Prussia, while black, white, and red were the colors of Germany). Hitler also created the War Merit Cross as a replacement for the non-combatant version of the Iron Cross. It also appeared on certain Nazi flags (mostly the Third Reich flags) in the upper left corner. The edges were curved, like most original iron crosses.

Even the swastika is used by others, that doesn't change people's perceptions, because that is what it is known best for. Just like the hurtled mistache.
