I know you made this comment a month ago but I find the history of the Nazi’s use of the Swastika very interesting.
Von Rosen became brother-in-law to Hermann Göring when his wife’s sister, Carin von Kantzow, married Göring. The pair became acquainted when Göring was flying Eric von Rosen in bad weather from Stockholm to Rockelstad Castle, at the lake Båven in Sörmland, Sweden. Due to bad weather conditions, Göring had to stay at the castle. There he became acquainted with the sister of von Rosen’s wife, Carin von Kantzow. She was at that time married to a Swedish officer, but would be his future wife and greatest love.
Göring had noted the swastika during his stay in Sweden and at von Rosens’ castle (forged into a metal piece at the fireplace). However, the swastika of the German Nazi party had been adopted already in 1920, two years before Göring met Adolf Hitler.
Although I looked into this and the page for Göring on britannica.com actually says he met Adolf Hitler in 1921, still one year after 1920 when Hitler made the Swastika the flag of the Nazi party. My theory was that Göring could have met Hitler or had influence on the Nazi party earlier than otherwise thought, and that the swastika extensively used by the Nazi regime did originate from von Rosen and became famous through his connection to Göring. I could be completely wrong though.
