    Swedish count Eric von Rosen gave the Finnish White government its second aircraft, a Thulin Typ D.[3] Von Rosen had painted his personal good-luck charm on the Thulin Typ D aircraft. This logo – a blue swastika, the ancient symbol of the sun and of good luck, with no political connotation at the time – gave rise to the insignia of the Finnish Air Force. The white circular background originated when the Finns painted over the advertisement from the Thulin air academy.

      Eric von Rosen

      Nazi, literally related to Göring by marriage.

      Finnish White government

      Self-explanatory, white army shit.

      no political connotation at the time

      Didn't last long, plus the Finns ended up being huge Nazis too.

      In summary, :yikes: .
