    It’s still dubious to imply that the Finns adopted it as a direct or indirect result of Finns espousing Nazism. I mean both can be true, that there has been Finnish sympathy for Nazis, and that this specific usage of the swastika is pretty surely a coincidence. At least with the info available it’s pretty weak when there are so many stronger examples of Finns sympathizing with Nazis.
