Not true at all.

In fact, the Finnish Air Force started using that symbol before the Nazi Party even existed.

While the flag of the Nazi Party flag (later the flag of Nazi Germany) represented nothing outside of the Nazi regime, the swastika itself did and still does. Unfortunately, because of the Nazis, very few people these days can use that symbol in any way without uneducated people raising an eyebrow. In fact, this Confederate Flag controversy is nothing new to the US. Because the Nazis like to ruin other things, during the second world war, it was decided that Americans should no longer give the Pledge of Allegiance like they used to.
