Pretty awesome photos. Are all those vehicles with swastikas German, or did they give them to the Finns to use? That one on skies was pretty interesting.

It originates from the first plane of the Finnish Air Force that was given to it by a Swedish nobleman, Eric von Rosen, whose personal lucky emblem the blue symbol was. The Finns included the emblem first to their Air planes and later also tanks and other vehicles as a mark of respect for count von Rosen and it had nothing to do with the German swastika. |
