Swastika flag in the wind, Germany 1933

A swastika flag billows in the wind against a cloudy sky, held in a steady shot. Originally the NSDAP party symbol since 1920, the flag was declared joint national flag alongside black-white-red by decree after the Nazi seizure of power in March 1933, and became the sole national flag of the German Reich in 1935. The image stands for the rapid and systematic spread of Nazi symbolism in public space during those years.
