Forest Swastika Discovered in 1992
Now, this is something you don’t see everyday. A swastika symbol in the forest was seen by a pilot flying in 1992 above the Zernikow village, just north of Berlin. They needed to cut down 43 larches to get rid of the symbol, which is outlawed. Experts believe that a forest ranger planted them in 1938, maybe out of enthusiasm or in response to orders. However, when they cut the trees in 1995, it failed to get rid of the symbol, which grew back by 2000. Thus, the authorities needed to chop down 25 additional trees.

Color Photo Of German Surrender Finally Released in 2009
Taken in 1945, the color photographs of the German surrender were kept secret and not released until 2009. It was April 30th of 1945 when the Nazis began their surrender. The two generals, General Admiral Hans von Fiedeburg and General Eberhard Kinzel surrendered to the British Field Marshal, Bernard Montgomery, but photography was restricted. Despite this, clerk of the British Field Marshal, Ronald Playforth snuck a photograph from the bushes. He kept it hidden for more than 64 years and finally sold it to the highest bidder in 2009. In addition, more color photos from Hitler’s personal photographer came to the public in 2009.
