Nazis Display Guns in Danzig
Free City of Danzig -- There seems to be little doubt as to what the course of events will be in the still free city of Danzig as this radiophoto confirms the reports of Nazi arming in the Free City. Above are a group of Nazi troops lined up before a row of mobile field pieces in a Nazi display of strength in the Danzig powder keg. In a speech before a party rally here, Aug. 20th, Albert Foerster, Danzig Nazi leader, said that Adolph Hitler would soon be in Danzig - "Come What May".
