Safe to say that banning the symbol of the people that defeated the Nazis probably makes you a Nazi

Well their air force flags literally still have swastikas in them. But no, hammers and sickles are the problem! Nazi scum nation.

The whites really wanted to have a king, but weren't allowed (because the Germans lost WW1). So they still simp for their imaginary king.

I think it was more that the German noble they wanted to be king declined because he thought that having a German monarch after Germany just got owned in WW1 would probably not be the best way to start a new nation state. I think they even kicked around the idea of making some Finnish politician king instead
