Hello there!

Firstly, I'm so sorry that you're having to wade through the mire of neo-Nazi appropriative shite. It's an unfortunately common problem.

I also don't think I'm going to be of much, if any, help here. Most of my knowledge is in Celtic folklore, deities, mythos, etc., - Irish in particular.

Does anyone know anything about the Wendish black dragon god, called Zir/Zirnitra/Rosvodiz? Because the only information I could find about him is this paragraph: 

"In Wendish mythology Zirnitra, or Zir, is a black Slavic dragon and the god of sorcery. The image of Zirnitra was employed on a Wendish flag when the Wends fought the invading Saxons. Zirnitra literally means “magically empowered”. Rosvodiz is a byname of Zirnitra."

I don’t know if it’s because that these names were so distorted but I can’t find any Proto-Slavic root words for these names neither; and I’m assuming that it’s probably Weles because of the connection to magic and dragon-scaly-like-creatures but I still need some more info about him.
