        However, the Finnish air force began using it many years before the birth of Nazi Germany,

          Yes, because Count Eric von Rosen introduced it to the Finns first. von Rosen was Hermann Göring’s brother-in-law.

            The article you linked says

            Göring had noted the swastika during his stay in Sweden and at von Rosens’ castle (forged into a metal piece at the fireplace). However, the swastika of the German Nazi party had been adopted already in 1920, two years before Göring met Adolf Hitler.

            Seems like a case of multiple shitheads liking the same symbol independently?

              Now why would a count van rosen, who hosts hermann göring in his castle before the nazis even have any power, be taken to the swastika?

              Just one of those random coincidences I’m sure…
