Aww come on. I wanna see it.
It should be noted that the swastika is a religious symbol of Hinduism and was unfortunately inverted and used as a Nazi emblem.

What about blue swastikas?
They are not nazi symbols... They were the symbol of Finnish Airforce in WW2 but had to be changed because the world became allergy to swastikas because of an Austrian called Adolf...
In Finland the swastika was used as the official national marking of the Finnish Air Force and Army between 1918 and 1944. The blue swastika was the good luck symbol used by the Swedish Count Erich von Rosen, who donated the first plane to the Finnish "White Army" during the Civil War in Finland. It has no connection to the Nazi use of the swastika. It also still appears in many Finnish medals and decorations, in a visually understated manner.
"It is important to understand that the sign of the early Finnish Air Force has nothing to do with the Nazi Germany. The blue swastika was the symbol of good fortune used by the Swedish Count Eric von Rosen who during the Finnish Civil War presented to the Finnish White Army its first aircraft on March 6th, 1918. The swastika was painted on the upper side and under side of the wings of the Thulin Parasol he brought from Sweden. The sign was adopted by the Finnish Air Force to honor him."
