I looked at it and it doesnt appear too bad more of an attempt to bring history alive to show history as it was like while not turning it into a modern religion or political statement

Does that mean the President of Finland and their Air Force are some sort of neo Nazis...??
The Cross of Freedom (seen in the top left of the President's flag
Quote:The Cross of Freedom is the oldest order in Finland and the President is it's Grand Master. The cross can be described as a yellow swastika on blue cross pattée, in the center a yellow heraldic rose.
The basic design of the Cross of Liberty, the George Cross (croix pattée aux bords rectilignes) seems to have been a natural choice. Its beautiful, symbolical plain shape, connected well to ancient Finnish symbols, and the same type of cross was also used in the two other Finnish Orders for Merit, the Finnish White Rose (1919) and the Finnish Lion (1942).
The final shape of the Cross of Liberty came to consist of two crosses, one superimposed on the other, the lower cross symbolising victory, and above it the straight swastika symbolising sun's rays.
