Finnish Air Force to remove swastikas from unit flags, Yle reports

The Finnish Air Force will remove swastikas from its unit flags as part of an internal flag reform process. The decision follows concerns about the symbol’s impact during cooperation with international partners, Colonel Tomi Böhm told Finnish broadcaster Yle.

Böhm, recently appointed commander of the Karelia Air Command, confirmed that the removal is part of a broader review of military flag use. The decision is not politically mandated but follows practical considerations in international settings.
