Japan's Rising Sun Flag and Germany's Swastika

Japan's Rising Sun Flag and
Germany's Swastika are equivalent --
both represent the atrocities that these countries
committed during World War Two.

Germans are ashamed of the swastika and do not use it:
they are aware of what the Nazis committed.
However, Japanese are not ashamed of using the Rising Sun Flag.

Please point this out:
The Rising Sung Flag is the Asian equivalent of the Swastika.
It symbolizes Japan's wartime crimes,
so Japanese people should not use the flag.
Do they not know what the flag represents?
