There should be a mention of the swastika (or fylfot or tursaansydän or whatever) and its meaning. If anyone knows, that is. See also here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.162.18.112 (talk) 21:07, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The swastika in the decoration has no special significance I am aware of. As far as I know, it was a rather common motif in the early 20th century national romantic art. Akseli Gallén-Kallela used it quite a lot in his works. (Note: the decorations of this order were created in 1918, the Nazis formed their party in 1920s.) --MPorciusCato (talk) 15:20, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
