I don't know if I can get on his side for this one.

I think this is the equivalent of "don't play your bluetooth speaker in the park."

Why is that secondary nazi symbol on his glove in the second frame? This is1919, and at this point the "nazis" was a small political group with like 20 people......so I am confused.

I think the cross just marks the point where their bodys connected.

That makes more sense!

The sign was used by the Nazis, however the iron cross is older than them like alcoholicorn said. You can still see it on a decent amount of German military equipment.

Also not to mention in this context it's supposed to resemble the x mark you'd see portrayed on treasure maps.

I doubt that symbol had any meaning back then. The artist probably just thought it looked nice.
