Very interesting!
1. The Swastika is a very old symbol.
2. There may be clue in the name of the author
3. If he is Finnish then there is one obscure possibility
4. At one point the Finns sided with the Germans against the Russians
5. The Finnish aircraft were marked with a blue Swastika.
6. IBM (Blue) book with triangles (aircraft symbol) by Finnish author?

Subject: Nazi System 360/370 book...
So my wife wanted to show me a book tonight. Turned out it was one
of mine, she'd noticed something interesting.
System 360/370
Job Control Language
and the
Access Methods
by Reino Hannula
What's up with the Swastika on the spine of the book? It's made up
of little triangles, but it's definitely a swastika. Very strange.
