This photograph, taken from within a crowd in Nuremberg, Germany, captures a moment of mass public allegiance to the Nazi regime, likely during the annual Party rallies held in the city between 1933 and 1938. Bystanders raise their arms in the mandated salute as an official vehicle bearing a swastika pennant passes through the old town. Images such as this document the scale of state-orchestrated public spectacle used by the Nazi Party to project unity and popular support in the years leading up to the Second World War.
