Related: About this forumHuge swastika found in Brazilian swimming pool
Police in Brazil have stumbled upon a giant swastika depicted on the floor of a private swimming pool while flying over it in a helicopter during an anti-drugs raid in the southern state of Santa Catarina.
The swastika had been there undetected for 13 years, they later found out, although because it is on private land they will not be able to file any changes against the owner of the house, Brazilian media report.
The owner has not been made public but he told police that he is not publicly promoting Nazi views.
The swastika was found in the town of Pomerode where about 90 percent of the population is of German decent and many people still speak German as their first language.
