        I don’t know if you noticed the 1918 there. I’m not sure even proto-Nazis were around that time.

          Hitler joined the party that would become the Nazis in 1919. Von Rosen met Hitler in like 1922.

          This little shell game you’re trying to play with the dates is super gross.

            As far as I know time moves in just one direction and those dates are after 1918. I’m sorry, I’m not trying to gross you out on purpose. I just don’t understand calling it a Nazi symbol for how it was used after Finnish Air Force adopted it. To me it seems clear that if it was adopted before those things existed/happened then how could they have adopted a Nazi symbol?

            That’s where it started but I wouldn’t call him a proto-Nazi at that point. But in any case, point was that when the symbol was adopted, it had nothing to do with Nazis. Unless something being Nazi is some sort of transitive property, traveling back through the chain to 1918.

      Two decades after Finnish air force had adopted it. Saying it’s Nazi imaginery based on that would seem a bit strange, like the property of something being Nazi travels back in time.
