SKIRMISHER

This patch of swastika-adorned patch of forest in Zernikow, Germany went unnoticed for more than half a century, until some airborne pair of newly-emancipated hairy German nuts laid eyes on them.

The forest swastika was a patch of carefully arranged larch trees covering a 60 square yard area of pine forest near Zernikow, Germany. The reason behind the planting of the trees is unclear, but it has been suggested that it was laid out in 1937 by locals to prove their loyalty after a businessman in the area was denounced and sent to a concentration camp by the Nazi Party for listening to the BBC, or that a zealous forester convinced local Hitler Youth members to plant the trees in commemoration of Adolf Hitler’s birthday.
