The Death Rune is a flipped variation of the Life Rune. Like the Life Rune, it was used by the SS to signify death. After the Second World War the Rune continues to be used by Neo-Nazis and white supremacists, particularly in the context of celebrating fallen allies.

Not all uses of the Death Rune are hateful, and context has to be carefully taken into account. The symbol is not to be confused with Death Runes from the popular RuneScape video game.
