Forest swastica.

[Caen44]

Hi there,

maybe some of you know about it. I red about it the first time in the middle of last year in a book about the 3. Reich time in Berlin.

I searched on google earth if I can find it, if the satelite picture was shot in autumn, but didn´t find it till yet.

Best regards,

Caen44.

To the best of my knowledge this has now been removed.

When I was based in Germany, we used to go on excersise at a place called Vogelsang(?). This camp was used by the SS (apparently) as a breeding centre for true Aryans (complete with a crematorium which I will leave you to think about). There was a running track there complete with stands and a podium where the leader apparently stood. This overlooked a valley. This was 1985-89, and you could clearly see an eagle and swastika formed in the forest by different coloured trees. This does not appear to be the same place you are talking about. The camp was liberated by US troops who shot the hell out of the place!

Mike I remember Vogelsang camp I think it was the Duch who had the camp when I was there in the early 90s

Well done that man!
Also, a little foot note here. There is an inside swimming pool that is still untouched and done up in mosaics of heroic aryan figures. When I was there, the caretaker who looked after it was the original caretaker from the war.. and he told us some good (and bad) stories.
You can see the damage the yanks did to some of the statues in the photo's!!
