Bernhard H.Holst Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Hello Alex. I believe this to depict the early "Kampfzeit" ( early struggle ) when meeting attendance was small and a gradual increase in interest and participation took place. Note the one listener wearing field grey tunic and others such, probably meant to demonstrate ex-soldiers's interest in the party. The "stab in the back" (Dolchstoss) and the "undefeated in the field" ( unbesiegt im Feld) subjects attracted many , not only ex-soldiers. The date in the second picture 1935 seems the time when efforts were still under way to remind people of the struggle to shed the "November Verbrecher' or November 1918 criminals who signed away every German right and lots of territory and on and on. Just stepped off the soapbox... Bernhard H. Holst Edited June 24, 2014 by Bernhard H.Holst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hi Bernhard, so it's probable that the people represented in the audience were "Artistic licence" and never existed, seems quite possible regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
