To send a sign of peace, he mowed a large "peace" sign into one of the family's fields.
Neumarkt - The 21-year-old Thomas Haschke from a farming family from Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz mowed a huge "peace" sign into a family field, as the
Mittelbayrische Zeitung
first reported.
Anyone flying over Neumarkt in the next few weeks can marvel at the statement on the Ukraine war.
It is common in the Haschke family to have an open ear for the worries and needs of other people.
That you help where you can.
Like most people, family moves the destiny of Ukrainians, so the idea of making a mark on a family field was born.

The Haschkes don't have relatives or friends in Ukraine, but flight and expulsion had been experienced in the family a generation earlier: "My grandfather was also a refugee in World War II," reported Thomas Haschke to the
Mittelbayrische Zeitung
.
The family had been expelled from Silesia at the time and had to leave everything behind.
Thomas Haschke programmed the corresponding lane lines into the lane guidance system.
Since then, the symbol with a diameter of around 70 meters can be seen from afar on the slope next to Wolfsteinstrasse: "as food for thought," according to the Haschkes.
