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.
