Honest, it was an accident: German builders install swastika at new shopping center

- Builders accidentally lay bricks in the shape of a swastika in German town
- Unfortunate shape was spotted by shoppers in the newly-laid pavement
- Any use of Nazi symbols is banned in Germany under criminal law

A German construction company has come under fire after fitting a supposedly random set of bricks in the shape of a swastika in a public walkway.

Their mistake was swiftly spotted by shoppers in the town of Goslar, northwest Germany, who called the police.

Any use of Nazi symbols is illegal in Germany, and police were called to the scene, but the builders claim the shape of the bricks was an accident.

It was common in the days of the partition for east Germans to rat each other out to the Stasi. Of course, when communism ended, all those records of amateur spying and reporting ended up in public view.


The extent of anti-swastika brainwashing in Germany today is insane. There was an article I saw a few years ago where some leather buttons on clothing had been returned to the UK as the Germans felt the tightened pattern of the sewn leather too closely resembled a cross and therefore a swastika.


My town actually saw fit to paint a huge three armed triskelion on the brickwork in the main market street. I'm surprised someone hasn't decided to whine about that yet.

Certainly would not be surprised to learn that this is just another
"stirring of the pot" by a Jewish owned German construction outfit.
We have the ADL as of late, once again, bemoaning European anti-
semitism and we know that these Bastards are constantly looking
for reason to " wag the Hitler" ... Their fate is sealed and it cannot
come soon enough........

Maybe it was a Freudian Slip.
