I'm not a fan. I don't like looking at swastikas in any context. Sometimes it's necessary as part of learning about history, but I would prefer not to see one twice a day if that was the metro station I used to get to work.
Also IMO it has little artistic worth; it's not much more sophisticated than putting up a portrait of Hitler and labeling it "Bad Guy" would be. Something like this takes fundamentally the same idea (destroy the symbol of a hated enemy) but expresses it in a far more aesthetically interesting way.
