Wolfsangel is early medieval germanic symbol popular in Germany and France, which meant a lot of things through the ages (including based ones as being used by the peasants during the Peasant’s War). It originated from a hunting tool used to hunt wolves, hence the name.
Unfortunately, right now it’s 100% neonazi symbol and proxy of swastika.
Edit: My bad I was mistaken, its not the SS insignia but rather a different fascist symbol, the Wolfsangel. Commonly used by several Nazi Wemacht divisions, and also the Dutch Fascists in the 1930s
Thats not the SS, the SS has the Totenkopf. This is from the SS Galizien, an SS unit made up exclusively of ukrainian nazis commanded by Stepan Bandera during WW2.
That’s a stylized swastika right?
Its a wolfsangel, different symbol but still very nazi
thanks
Not sure, could have its origins there. I’m sure someone has traced the origins of all these white supremacist symbols the soldiers are wearing.

not the same
yes you’re right, I didn’t look closely enough to see that its a wolfsangel

Correct, although to be clear the Totenkompf is the skull and crossbones, I posted the runic logo that was adopted as a patch by the SS.
