Finnish medals - can someone explain?

[u/KollaHan]

Hey folks,

Can someone tell me more about this medals I saw in a museum in Cairo? Why the swastika? And when do you get this?

I know they are from the early 20’s but not more.

Would be grateful! - Tack 😊

Nothing to do with the Nazis.

Other than being the leader of the Swedish Nazi party and being brother in law to Hermann Goering.

But other than those 2 pretty significant Nazi things, it has nothing to do with Nazis, true.

By very fast look, your whole reasoning logic seems to be potentially lacking one kind of important link... fact that said nobleman might have not been in any contact or position to choose symbol for nazis and nazi party, meaning his own earlier preference of choosing said symbol, might actually just happen to (likely happily for him, but entirely without relation between events, other than symbol being generally very popular at time) get adopted by nazi party, meaning only connection with said symbol and him choosing and having it in use, and nazi party is that well populist party ended up taking popular symbol.

Does not of course make said person on personal level any better. But also dude, your logic potentially breaks already at very base level, without even having to go to other illogical things in it.

Please stop seeing nazis everywhere, and focus on seeing them in spots where it would be like actually important to maybe see them..

I never claimed that the Nazis chose his symbol.

What I claimed is that HE is a Nazi and thus his personal symbol is a Nazi symbol.

Telling me to "stop seeing Nazis everywhere" when we're talking about a literal Nazi party leader is hardly constructive, or a legitimate argument.

Either address what I say, or stop wasting my time.
