Heheheh....look at your avatar Swabbie! hahaha.... You could learn much from this Ace of the Deep.  Nanner Nanner!!! Task Force, right pic! Missed the history on it. Half an oreo for ya. In 1937, a local businessman, an ardent follower of Adolf Hitler, planted a 60 by 60 metre area of Larch trees in a forest near the town of Zernikow, about 110 km north of Berlin. The trees were planted in the shape and format of a Swastika and could only be seen from the air. During Autumn, when the Larch trees changed their colour to orange and yellow they stood out strikingly against a green forest of surrounding pine trees. Discovered many years after the war, this long-forgotten symbol of the Nazi era was finally removed by cutting down 27 of the 57 trees that made up the Swastika design. This was done in 2001 by the Brandenburg State Forest authorities.

Jester, you is dead meat!
Kirk, I asked for pixs, not graphics. Sorry, but you only get the bottom 2/3ds of the cookie. 'NOTHER QUESTION: Unlike our western Paratroopers, Fallschirmjäger had NO control over their descent. Why? |
