These Trees Aren’t Nice

These conveniently colored trees are quite anti-semitic, wouldn’t you agree? But according to experts, they are “shrouded in mystery,” meaning no one knows why they are here in the German state of Brandenburg. The formation is only visible when the larch trees’ leaves change color in the autumn.

“One elderly resident said he had helped plant the trees as a child for the Nazi forestry service,” wrote NY DailyNews. “Others said the swastika grew from seedlings planted to show loyalty after a villager was taken by the Gestapo for listening to banned BBC news broadcasts.”
