Forest Swastika Discovered in 1992
In 1992, a pilot flew over the Zernikow village (above Berlin) and saw a swastika in the forest. In order to get rid of the illegal symbol they cut down 43 larches. However, the symbol reemerged in 2000 when the trees grew back. Thus, they chopped down 25 more trees. According to experts, they suspect a forest ranger planted the trees back in 1938 either as an order or out of enthusiasm.
