Arrest of a demonstrator, Berlin 1932
A police officer in a shako grips a man by the arm and leads him away from the street, surrounded by more demonstrators and law enforcement officers. Such arrests were commonplace in Berlin during the final years of the Weimar Republic, when political rallies staged by communists, social democrats and National Socialists regularly escalated into street fighting and police interventions. The year 1932 marked the height of the republic's domestic political crisis, with high unemployment and rising street violence. The footage captures a typical moment of this tense transitional period shortly before the end of Weimar democracy.
