A great swastika disc hangs above the builders and the flags

Tall pillars wrapped in dark cloth and wreathed in greenery frame a vast hanging with a white disc and a black swastika; below it stand dozens of flags on poles, and in front of them rows of men in white work clothes and caps face the ceremony. The extension of the Reichsbank in Berlin was begun on 5 May 1934, when its foundation stone was laid in Hitler's presence; Schacht, president of the Reichsbank, became minister of economics that summer.
