"Thor's Fight with the Giants" in the Swedish National Museum not the swastika on the belt. Its a painting from 1872. Old map did use the swastika-symbol to mark powerplant.

Power-plant? to signify the turbines turning?

A building from 1927 here in Bergen is quite famous locally for the fences on its balconies;

Are you literally trolling us?

 

I think ASEA fused with Brown Boveri some 30 years ago so all's well.

 

Well ASEA were the Swedish equivalent of GE.

Swastikas have also been used in the Basque Country for quite a while.

[Mr King]

Used by Buddhist too

The swastika is also used in hinduism, jainism and so on, and in Japan, a swastika is used as a map symbol for tempels.

Anyone who's struggled to schlepp a thirty-rack of Miller High Life home from the local beer joint might start to feel some phantom back pain when they drink in this picture of a 1,000 pack of the Finnish beer Keisari Lager.

That's right—for some insane reason, a 1,000-pack of beer is currently on sale in a store somewhere in Finland.

 

 

The stunt appears to be a direct response to Karjala, another Finnish brewery, that recently released a 100-pack of beer. You can read all about the 100-pack of Karjala beer here, in an article that ends with this prescient closing line:

Expect Miller or some other beer brand to up the ante with a 1000-Pack sometime soon.

That's right, folks—we've got ourselves a good old fashioned beer arms race brewing. At least, that's what we think is going on here. To be perfectly honest, Google Translate only gets us so far when it comes to making sense of all this.

No the swastika was a culture symbol of power/strength "power of the sun" before the Nazis desiccated it, so it was natural to have it as a symbol for power-plant on maps,,and ASEA who did make parts to power plants and electronics did have it in there logo.

 

 

Roughly translated: This sign guarantees first class quality of Swedish manufacturing. As time changes.....

 

 

It sad that more peopel did not do as this guys....

Must be noted that draconic Finnish alcohol laws do not allow shops to offer big pack discounts, so a "1000-pack" costs exactly same as buying thousand separate beer cans. Buying one is entirely for bragging rights and reinforcing an ethnic stereotype

 

Talking about ethnic stereotypes, this is how average truck driver looks like in Sweden.
