Men with armbands and slung rifles guard a doorway

Before the double door of a rusticated building, its house number on an oval plate, eight men in long coats and caps stand in a loose row, armbands on their sleeves and leather straps across their chests; some carry rifles slung on their backs. On the pavement two women and a man in a light coat watch them. The source describes armed National Socialists with armbands; in the first days after 11 March 1938 party men took over guard duties in Vienna alongside the police.
