German "Tourists" March in Danzig
Free City of Danzig -- In full uniform and with swastika banners flying, a column of German Nazis, some of the thousands who have entered Danzig under the guise of tourists, are shown in a recent parade through the streets of the free city. Some of the bystanders give the Nazi salute to the "tourist" army.
