Possible discussion of Controversy

In many Christian circles, the CND sign is rumored to be linked to the persecution under the Roman emperor Nero, and others are sceptical because in the Third Reich the inner part of the "broken cross" was used as a death rune. (see German version of the Algiz article for pictures of legit grave stones from the time) Is it worth mentioning these other uses and the controversy that arises with it, and possibly show sources as to debunk these sceptic approaches?

Here is an unreliable example of the controversy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.92.106.240 (talk) 13:00, 14 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Bertrand Russell came up with the Peace Sign

This "hoax" has gone on for years. Yes, the graphic designer was told to draw up the idea but it wasn't his! He was given the task of "designing" the image already decided to be the ND semaphores, to be an attractive design to be used on handheld signs, poster, etc. The design as it appears on this page isn't even his original drawing. His artwork was a stylised version, with the arms getting slighly fatter as they neared the outer circle. All the intersections had little curves, not square angles; he was a graphic designer and his job was to make it "pretty". Russell had actually lived in a former semaphore station, called "Telegraph House". (Houses in England used to have names.) Accounts have mostly been lost in history but Holtom really worked to claim credit after Russell's death. His early explanations never even referenced the semaphore; he claimed he wanted "arms" raised up, before changing his mind. This is a personal issue for me; Russell (Uncle Bertie) introduced my parents. Credit should go to where it's due; not endless recitations of a false narrative.
