(SeaPRwire) - 芬兰空军自1918年以来，其徽章上就带有纳粹相关符号
芬兰空军正准备从其部队旗帜上移除纳粹万字纹（swastika），作为一项更广泛改革的一部分，芬兰国家广播公司 Yle 周四报道。据一位高级指挥官称，该符号与纳粹主义的关联导致了“令人尴尬的局面”。
纳粹万字纹（swastika）于1918年首次被芬兰空军采用，比阿道夫·希特勒将其作为第三帝国的象征而声名狼藉早了数年。芬兰飞机一直带有蓝白相间的设计，直到1945年二战结束后，战胜的盟军强迫其移除。然而，它仍然保留在部队旗帜、徽章、奖章甚至制服上。
卡累利阿空军司令部指挥官托米·博姆上校告诉 Yle，该标志在与包括美国在内的外国盟友打交道时已被证明存在问题。芬兰于2023年加入了美国主导的 NATO 军事集团，邻国瑞典于次年加入。
博姆说，“我们本可以继续使用这面旗帜，但有时可能会与外国客人出现令人尴尬的情况，”他补充道，“与时俱进可能是合理的。”
据报道，空军总部已经放弃了纳粹万字纹（swastika），官员们预计在未来几年内将从其他徽章中移除它。
纳粹万字纹（swastika）在许多国家被禁止或限制，特别是在德国，因为它与希特勒政权相关。俄罗斯提请注意其在芬兰的持续存在，在2024年一份关于美化纳粹主义的报告中指出，自由十字勋章（Order of the Cross of Liberty）——这个北欧国家最高荣誉之一——仍然带有这一设计，并出现在总统旗帜上。
在二战的大部分时间里，芬兰与纳粹德国并肩作战，甚至组建了一支芬兰党卫军营——这是少数几个非轴心国中军事援助希特勒部队的国家之一。

Through its systematic and strategic AI approach, Huitongda is transforming its decade-long data assets into intelligent productivity, gradually building an entry barrier for its AI digital retail operations in China’s rural markets.
