Description
To prevent a repitition of demonstrations like this huge mass meeting held in Berlin's Lustgarten several weeks ago by communists who oppose Adolf Hitler's National Socialists, Berlin and Brandenburg as well as the rest of the State of Prussia was placed under martial law on July 20. Clashes between the communists and the nazis with a toll of 100 lives precipitated the edict. Associated Press Photo AJE-7/20/32 (fs (b k nac out)
