Knowing that the symbol signified good luck for the Vikings, he utilized the symbol and had it carved into all his luggage when going on an expedition to South America in 1901.

The Finnish Air Force (FAF ( Finnish: Ilmavoimat, Swedish: Flygvapnet) is one of the branches of the Finnish Defence Forces. The aircraft, a license manufactured Morane-Saulnier MS Parasol/Thulin D, was marked with his badge, a blue swastika on a white background. AB Thulinverken was a company in Landskrona, Sweden founded in 1914 as Enoch Thulins Aeroplanfabrik by the airman and aircraft technician Enoch Thulin. The Finnish Air Force adopted this as their national insignia. [1]
Göring had noted the swastika during his stay in Sweden and at von Rosens' castle (forged into a metal piece at the fire place). However, the swastika of the German Nazi party had been adopted already in 1920, two years before Göring met Adolf Hitler. Hi and welcome to Wikipedia!
