Anyone ever see this before?

Hello all -

I've seen this in the past, just wondering if anyone else here has ever seen this.

Swastika-shaped building -- Sightseeing with Google Satellite Maps

Click on the "See map in Goggle Earth"

Kind of interesting don't you think?

Regards,

Andy

You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
