The swastika on the tail fin, 1937

A mechanic in overalls rubs down the corrugated metal of the tail below a large swastika in a white disc on the fin; then a wider view shows the whole tail against the airport buildings, a tractor and ground equipment beside it. From 1935 the swastika flag was the sole national flag, and it was painted on the tails of all German aircraft.
