On November 14th 1810, during the occupation of Prussia and Germany by the armies of Napoleonic France, Friedrich Ludwig Jahn founded the first public German Gymnasts’ Society. He merged the idea of ​​physical fitness with the idea of a ​​national liberation struggle. This combination of ideas also appeared later in other parts of Europe, including the lands of partitioned Poland, where he founded Gymnastic Society “Sokół” (i.e. ”Falcon”). The symbol of the company founded by F.L. Jahn was a cross made ​​of four letters “F”, as shown. These were the letters of the password, “Frish, Fromm, Frölich, Frei” (ie: “Fresh, pious, joyful, free”). Soon, these letters were arranged in a right-facing swastika as shown above.
