    Uhhhhhh no… the air force roundel of the Finnish air force was only chosen because the brother in law to Herman Goering gifted Finland it’s first few fighters and he emblazoned them with the swastika because he liked the symbol.

    That same guy would later go on to help make the Nazi flag.

      The symbol itself has a long history in Finland, that's what I meant https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakaristi_Suomessa

      You're right about why the air force logo was chosen though, it came from that guy in 1918.
