    IDK, that definitely looks like a flag that should belong to a NATO member.

        Added as a symbol in 1918, and they kept it to “glorify the history of the Finnish air force” all the way through both WW2 and the Cold War…hmm kinda makes me think that the reason they kept it is because they don’t see the other more popular and very geographically close use of the symbol as something bad…

          So a Swedish dude donated a plane to Finland starting their Air Force.

          He used the swastika as his personal symbol…

          Because he was an aryan supremacist and adopted the symbol due to the popular myth it united the aryan race. Not exactly a Nazi but he was drinking from the same well of aryan race theory and white supremacism, Nordic supremacism, as the most pure aryans, in particular.

          Edit: having read the rest of this thread I see I am one of about a dozen people pointing this out. Doing my part.
