Is it just me that saw Bipeds avatar?

I think it's an early one of these

Brown, white or granary?

Wasn't there a forest planted during the 30's that was evergreens with deciduous trees planted within it in the shape of a swastika ? Got spotted early GoogleEarth days and trimmed to be de-nazified ?

As to denver airport, I'd be more worried about the gruesome murals than the fecking runways. Some very strange symbolism in those for sure.

This, you mean?



It's alles uber der platz

Had to look that up:

Story behind the swastika trees

I'd have thought they'd have left it... suppose they are scared of it becoming metting place of neo-nazis?

i have one around my neck..its silver,,and it is "in reverse" i understand from a buddist background.. it means long life,,or good luck or somesuch

Plenty of them built into the fascia's of the buildings in Goa

just goes to show...

I always wondered what happened to Martin Borman

The stone elephants that guard the gates of the carlsberg brewery in Copenhagen are adorned with swastikas.

Yeah, but if it's a building in an American fly-over state then I really doubt it's a tribute to Hinduism.

i looked again,,struthhhhhhhhh he does look like him

Talking of Swastika shapes made up from trees, several Bomb Disposal Sections from 33 used to clear areas near the WWI War Memorial at Elveden, Suffolk of British Bombs that would be dropped by Bombers returning from Sorties over mainland Europe and weren't able to drop their load on their specified targets, it was a really good training area for us on Out Stations.

The word on the ground was that the RAF used to drop the bombs close to or on a large Swastika Shape made of trees, that had been planted by a Land Owner in Memory of his Sons who fought in WWI, but I've never seen any pictures of the Swastika and certainly didn't see this on the ground when I worked there.

Does anyone have any pics of this?

Could be that Bulletproof Monk guy showing off one of his 'war' trophies ...

Remeber being shown pictures of BMH Rinteln by some locals of when it first opened.Built by the Nazis in the shape of the swastika-think it was something to do with their Lebensborn programme?Apparently,the British & Canadian forces removed some wings in 1946

I see what you mean, it has that look about it:

The simple geometric form we call the swastika was, as someone pointed out, originally an ancient and harmless symbol. The Nazi's needed a similarly simple and easily recognised badge for their organisation. They took it, reversed it, and made it the now hated symbol of a failed political ideology.
They could have used other shapes like a different cross or a star ( the two other universal symbols on the flags of many countries or movements) but were hardly as eyecatching or original. The Japanese "rising Sun" was another variation of the adoption of an earlier symbol for political reasons.
This design of such straight or curved lines can be seen in many guises (think of the three legs of the Isle of Man). Near my home is a piece of vintage agricultural machinery with a large flywheel. The four spokes of the flywheel form a - slightly curved - swastika shape. I never noticed this until I read the posts above.
My point is that the design is harmless, it should be taken back from those who use it in its "Nazified " form - reversed to its earlier shape of course, and made respectable.

As a layout for building design of the type illustrated it is efficient and practical.

spilt my beer laughing at that reply
