Actually, this isn't nazi, the airplane bears the insigna of the finnish airforce. Finland used the Bf 109 G-2 during the continuation war but I don't think the nazi tag is appropriate.
Eino Ilmari Juuitilainen is called an unwounded ace. Perhaps they did not hit him because he knew what his opponent was thinking.
The single shot his airplane took was "a graze by a stray bullet from a bomber's barrage," and we will connect it with the Satori story about being hit by an unintentionally thrown pebble.
Hey, I'm not saying about the one flying with exposed panties! How many times do I have to tell you?
A folk tale about Satori is as follows.
In the mountains, a woodcutter encountered a youkai. The youkai said each of the woodcutter's thoughts out loud, one after the other, cornering and playing with him. At the end, just as the youkai was about to devour him, the woodcutter stumbled and fell, and at that instant unintentionally threw something he was holding (a pebble, adze, or sickle) towards the youkai. The surprised youkai said "humans are scary because they do unexpected things" and fled into the mountains.
The story has minor regional variations, but every version relates how Satori is injured by an unintentional human act, is surprised, and runs away.

Finnish Airforce started using blue swastika in 1918 when swedish noble donated biplane to finnish
Von Rosen had painted his personal good luck charm on the Thulin Typ D aircraft. This charm – a blue swastika, the ancient symbol of the sun and good luck – was adopted as the insignia of the Finnish Air Force. The white circular background was created when the Finns tried to paint over the advertisement from the Thulin air academy.[5] The swastika was officially taken into use after an order by Mannerheim on 18 March 1918. The FAF had to change the insignia after 1945, due to an Allied Control Commission decree, where the swastika had to be abandoned due to its association with Nazism.
Note that Nazis didnt take swastika as their symbol until 1920, 2 years later.

You're correct. History is told well within vatas's comment:
