well yes and no.
it was obviously their official symbol and on their flags, buttons, and everything else.
But it was also ripped off and meant different things to different cultures for thousands of years.
but to answer the loaded part of your question:
Some white supremacist’s use of the crusader cross is not at all like the nazi’s use of the swastika

Oh, so how many need to use it until it does become a symbol of white supremacy?

Yeah, I thought it might be something like that.
