Btw the Nazi swastika was typically oriented on a 45-degree diagonal like a diamond. Finland used a blue swastika as a military and national symbol starting in 1918, predating its adoption by Nazi Germany. The Finnish swastika is perpendicular (upright, aligned with horizontal and vertical axes) rather than tilted at a 45-degree angle like the Nazi swastika. Orientation matters.
