Yup, the finnish had their yearly airforce convention in Helsinki - Le Monde wrote about it and caused a big fuzz (yeah, well, a net discussion) in France...some of the people didn't like the swastika-look-alike in the finnish flag...
However, this finnish symbol is much older than the indian one Hitler and the boys used in their fascist flags...the symbol was first used in a statue back in 1891, and the airforce started to use it in the Liberty War back in 1918, when a swedish earl gave us our first airplane...before flying to Finland, he painted his lucky marks into the plane...blue "hookcrosses" that look like a swastika. After that it's been used in our airforce flags etc.
Funnee incident anyway...now people here are wondering whether it's a good habit to continue using it...ha ha ha...I don't know if we really have to get so upset as it really has nothing to do with the nazis...
