Description

Driving home the last campaign speech, Adolf Hitler addressed this huge crowd in Hamburg, Germany, on the morning of the election, in which the people cast their vote in the plebiscite that decided that Hitler was to assume the powers of the late President von Hindenburg, in addition to his own as Chancellor. Later, Hitler journied back to Berlin to make an address on the afternoon of the same day. 89 percent of the voters voted “Ja.”Credit line (ACME) 8/27/34Stamp: ACME Newspictures, Inc.; Ref. Dept.
