Original Message This building was built by the US military which clearly shows their afinity with both facist and Nazi symbols.

Other information regarding it is availble both on google video and GLP search features.

The Wesley Acres Methodist retirement home looks just like any other building - from the ground - but fly over it in a plane and its giant swastika outline is unmistakeable.

Now the agency that owns the US government-funded building in Decatur, Alabama, plans to alter its shape to disguise the Nazi symbol after fresh complaints.

The building has already undergone a £500,000 redesign following similar arguments from a US senator a few years ago.

"The difficulty is there are a limited number of options for fixing a building that has been there for some time," said Mike Giles, of the Methodist Homes Corporation of Alabama and Northwest Florida.

"We have to come up with a way to fix an appearance that we want solved and not hurt our residents."

Wesley Acres provides housing for 117 low income pensioners over the age of 62 - most of whom have no idea the hallways they walk each day form a sinister shape.

The one-storey building was designed in the 1970s and completed in 1980 before undergoing a £500,000 alteration in 2001.

But the addition of two wings seemed to accentuate its offensive shape rather than hide it.

The latest push to erase the broken cross shape follows complaints from researcher Avrahaum Segol who has also campaigned over what he has called its "sister swastika" building at a naval base in San Diego.

The Navy agreed to spend about £300,000 to alter the 1960s-built barracks.

Mr Segol, of Israeli-American descent, says both buildings were created as part of a government-funded conspiracy to honour Nazis.

He claims Wesley Acres is a homage to the German scientists who came to nearby Huntsville after World War II.

But Mr Giles dismissed his claim as ridiculous, insisting the building was originally designed to be much larger and cutbacks resulted in a shape that resembled the four-armed swastika.

"It was certainly not intentional," he said.
