I don’t know if you’re joking or uninformed but that cross logo came from a Swedish count who donated the first plane to Finland in 1918. It’s not Nazi imaginery.
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.

That guy became a prominent Nazi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_von_Rosen

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

I think if we consider those Aryan purity people proto-Nazis (and I think we can) then I admit to being wrong about proto-Nazis being around.

The time was 1918 and you cited stuff from 1919 and 1922?
I’d imagine they didn’t want to change their logo because of some German party, at least first.
Hitler’s origin story is literally getting owned in ww1

He was the Brother in law to Herman Goering lmaoooo. That “Swedish count” was a high ranking Nazi.
Nazis weren’t a thing in 1918, when the symbol was adopted.
