The Swastika is the least offensive part of this. And to add to your links, here's one on the Native American Swastika which is what these fools mistakenly painted on the monument.

What bothered me was the act itself, compounded by the sentiment "dig up your rubbish, it's fouling our soil". That is no way to honor the sacrifice of human life that helped give these hooligans the freedom they now abuse.

This is a very disturbing problem to have such outright hatred being shown between the governments of our two countries, who have been allies in the past. Unfortunately, the foul stench of anti-American propaganda is now causing this kind of activity to manifest itself from within the ranks of the French people themselves. It is we, the people of these two nations who must help to resolve this before it really gets nasty.
