Open cars draw up before a crowd and swastika banners

A column of open touring cars, their seats filled with men in peaked caps, rolls past an iron railing and comes to a halt; a man in a white tunic stands at the kerb beside the leading car, and a soldier crosses the empty roadway. Behind the railing a dense crowd fills the square, and from the facade of a large building hang long banners with the swastika and a lettered streamer. After the Munich Agreement of 29 September 1938, German troops entered the Sudeten districts of Czechoslovakia from 1 October.
