Smart move to change their insignia, prior to combat with the Nazis ... but that ended in 1945. The Buddhists etc... used the swastika for centuries before Adolf the Butcher stole it ... it's time they got it back.

Note the a Buddhist etc. swastika "rests" on one side, while a Nazi swastika "rests" on one corner.

So did Finland between the World Wars and during the 2nd-- it was an ancient Lapp symbol. During the war in the East, they were more or less allied with Nazi Germany anyway.

After the war ended, changed their national symbol from a blue swastika on a white field to a blue and white roundel.

d.o.l.
