Nazis have borrowed Norse symbology since like the beginning of Nazis. Their most recognizable symbol is also borrowed from other cultures.

Unlike the swastika, Norse symbols aren't so strongly associated with Nazis that they're now completely unacceptable, so some Nazis use them as a way to broadcast their interests while keeping some plausibly deniable "I just think they're neat" shit.

Don't forget they also called themselves Aryan despite the Aryans being from central/south Asia. They're generally considered to be Indo-Iranian based on where they ended up and where they started. But it flows off the tongue better to put the former first.

They also call themselves Caucasian despite that being Eastern European and Asian.
