Nope nope nope. It's not hell, it's a research station that's been taken over
by beings from another dimension. Don't you folks read the "Read This Now!"
section? Let's get real, some guy was designing the map, wanted to place a
bunch of traps, and decided to be cute and stuck in a swastika. When his boss
saw it, he probably laughed, then told the guy to reverse the direction before
they got sued...
