Swastika of Fire (also Fire Swastika; Romanian: Svastica de Foc, or SDF), colloquially known as the "Blue Shirts" (due to their prior association with the National Christian Party's youth paramilitary organization), and later as the "Brown Shirts" a customary inspired by the Nazi paramilitary Sturmabteilung (SA), was an interwar Nazi political party in the Kingdom of Romania that split from the National Christian Party. Ideologically-wise, the SDF espoused national socialism, fascism, Germanophilia, and Romanian Orthodox Christianity. Historian Francisco Veiga briefly described the SDF as "another copy of the NSDAP".
