They're still using the Wolfsangel as their symbol. Being suspicious of such a group is healthy in my opinion.

The problem is that people went from suspicious to taking for granted without doing their research. That's why posts like this one are important.
Wikipedia says this about the Wolfsangel:
"In early mediveal times the symbol was believed to possess magical powers, and it became a symbol of personal liberty and independence from oppressors after its adoption as an emblem of a peasant revolt in the 15th century against the severe oppression of the German princes and their mercenaries."
