Because
By the way, Finland's air force, the Ilmavoimat, sported the Hakaristi
(a swastika) as insignia on its aeroplanes during the war. The Hakaristi
was not identical to the Nazi Hakenkreuz.
The Finns took up the Swastika in 1918, the Germans did not start to
use it until much later.
Eimskipafélag Íslands (The Icelandic steamship company, formed in
1915) had a swastika (vertical, just as the Finnish sign) as its´ logo
long before the Nazis came up with the idea.
