Native Americans and Indians both use(d) swastikas in religious ceremonies.
And what famous American comedian wore an Adolph Hitler style moustache? Oliver Hardy!

The answer to all the questions is Finland. Interesting country. While Germany was invading Poland, Russia invaded Finland. They had a population one fiftieth of Russia and an army of 200,000 against the millions of Russian troops. They cut them to pieces. The Russians were not prepared for the severe Finnish Winter. LOL Finland was a democracy and not a fan of Hitlers but out of necessity allowed German troops to be sent to Finland. When they made their peace with Russia they had all these German troops still in Finland and Finland had to declare war against Germany and forcibly expel them, using their German tanks and German planes against them. The British sent them aid and they ended up with Spitfire and Hurricane English fighters with the Finnish Swastica fighting Germany. The swastica was used by Finland before the Nazis ever existed. During WWI Sweden sent the Finns some planes and in honor of that the Finns used the family symbol of a Swedish nobleman who expedited the planes, the blue swastica.
Finland has a very interesting history. They seceded from Russia with Lenins consent and were able to make peace with Stalin and maintain their independence and democracy.
