Police deployment at a demonstration, Berlin 1932

Rows of Schutzpolizei officers take up position facing a group of demonstrators gathered on a Berlin street. The final years of the Weimar Republic were marked by frequent street protests and clashes between police, communists and National Socialists, particularly in the capital. Such deployments of the security forces were part of the everyday cityscape in 1932, the year of the last free Reichstag elections before the Nazi seizure of power. The footage documents the mounting political tension that would culminate a few months later in Hitler's appointment as chancellor.
