Description

verso labeled in typeset: SCH299821On April 7th the Free City of Danzig will go to the polls. It is fairly certain that the residents will vote Nazi. Numerous meetings are being held, the largest of which brought together Nazi adherents. This photo shows part of the crowd of 100,000 at the Nazi meeting. Their enthusiasm reached its peak when they were informed that Hitler had ordered compulsory military service.
