If I'm correct, Finnish Air Force only removed the swastika from their uniforms. Apparently they got fed up explaining to foreign soldiers that the emblem has nothing to do with nazis. Most of Finns know the story behind the Finnish swastika, and don't want it removed copletely,
-
'The hisorically challenged' a wonderful understatement.
-
It never ceases to amaze me seeing shocked foreigners gawk at the buddhist swastikas but remain unaware of the rising sun symbol on their clothes and whatnot. "Historically Challenged" indeed.
-
THANK YOU FOR SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT!! GREAT VIDEO! VERY INFORMATIVE!! Thats incredible that people choose to be stupid rather than to be educated. History should not be erased, kept secret, revised, lied about nor forgotten.
-
We Ethiopians have the swastika in lalibela Church. I do not know how it got there, but this church was built around 1118 AD.
-
"the Swastika Laundry Company" sounds like a good name for a hardcore Punk or Death Metal band.
-
All too many aren't interested in being educated about history but find it easier to erase it thereby refusing to learn from it which, inevitably, leads to repeating it.
-
Thank you Mark for the history to remind us
-
Okay the Swastika Laundry Company had me laughing 😆
-
“The Historically Challenged”😂 that’s a polite way of putting it.
-
They got the same pass that Indian and Japanese people have: "We were using it before Hitler did."
-
Excellent, thank you Mr. Felton. I also loved the statement "The historically challenged".
-
"The Historically Challenged." That explains about 90% of the general population.
-
‘Education, not erasers ‘ shall be my motto and mantra henceforth. Bravo Prof Felton for yet another superb production!
-
Excellent video. Well researched and presented.
-
I very much appreciate the decidedly NON conspiratorial nature of your journey through history. This kind of stuff can easily be taken in that direction. Fascinating stuff - thanks!
-
"The historically challenged" what a perfect phrase. And I agree, "education and not erases" are needed, especially concerning history. Especially here in Germany
-
You mentioned the Canadian town of Swastika, Ontario, which got its name in the early 1900s. During the Second World War there was an attempt to rename it 'Winston', similar to how the city of Berlin, Ontario had been permanently renamed 'Kitchener' during the First World War. The town's residents told the Provincial authorities "to hell with Hitler, we came up with our name first". They kept their old name.
-
Very interesting, thanks for this
-
Thank you for sharing this piece of history with us.
