Description

Chancellor Adolf Hitler recently presented new colors to the police of the city of Schwerin, a city in Northern Germany. This photo shows the colors being borne past the police force drawn up on the market square of the city. Germany, ostensibly a republic, with a black-red-gold flag, has from now on two national flags - the swastika of the Fascist Party and the red, white, and black banner of the former imperial Empire.
