Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has slammed a Nazi swastika flag which flew on an Australian Army vehicle in Afghanistan as completely and utterly unacceptable.

A leaked photo of the 2007 incident, obtained by the ABC, shows a large swastika emblem hoisted over an Australian military vehicle.

"It was absolutely wrong and their commanders took action at the time," Mr Turnbull told reporters in Hobart on Thursday.
