No the swastika is definitely not merely a nazi symbol.    In the Finnish army i've personally even marched under a flag with a swastika symbol. The Finnish Airforce adoped the swastika as their official symbol somewhere around 1918. Here's a picture too:     Finnish Airforce official flag: (still used today)     http://www.ilmavoimat.fi/filebank/23...pu_laplsto.gif
