Description

Saarlanders inspecting one of the Deutsche Front posters in Saarbruecken, showing the ghostly figures of German soldiers in the World War. The words at the foot reads “We died for you; would you betray us?” These posters, issued by the Deutsche Front, the Nazi organization in the Saar, are taking the place of swastika flags and decorations, which are now forbidden by the governing commission.Associated Press PhotoAJE-1/10/34 (A LIST (KEY BAIRES O) 1030Stamp: Filed Jan 14 1935
