You have more detective work to do! I've got to think this unique style and overlaps even the paper might be a clue. Consult a paper expert! Antiques Road Show!
Prior to WWII, it was a good luck symbol and was likely part of the brand emblem for the company that printed the postcard. In 1909, there were a series of "Good Luck Swastika" postcards that highlights how the symbol had entirely different meanings prior to the rise of the Reich (you can see pics of the postcards in this old listing https://www.etsy.com/listing/505473374/sale-1909-pre-world-wars-era-good-luck)
Thanks Alicia. I have done some research to try to identify the original brand owner for the mark on the postcard and the best I could figure is that it is NOT a Natzi symbol, for the reasons you mentioned.
At first glance, though, I have to admit it is alarming to see!

Kirsi, what is the reason for the “natzi” symbol on the face of the postcard?
