Airmen saluting on a Berlin street, 1937

On a wide avenue lined with lamps and flagpoles, uniformed men in peaked caps, apparently of the Luftwaffe, walk in threes along the pavement past the heavy stone columns of a public building; a civilian couple passes close by, and as the men reach the doorway one raises his right arm, apparently in the Hitler salute, to the sentry standing there. The salute had been compulsory for civil servants since 1933; in the armed forces it replaced the military salute by order only after the attempt on Hitler's life in July 1944.
