Signs of the regime in the village, 1937
A board by a village road reads Juden sind hier unerwünscht, a rooftop sign proclaims Unser Gruß ist Heil Hitler!, and a column with banners crosses a bridge.
Under the leaves of a tree at the edge of a village road stands a painted board with the words Juden sind hier unerwünscht, and a motorcyclist rides round the bend past it. On a roof a large white board with a black swastika declares in Gothic letters Unser Gruß ist „Heil Hitler!“ above a small plaque of the German Labour Front. Against a pale sky a long column of men with flags and banners marches over a low bridge across a calm river.
Signs barring Jews went up at village entrances from 1935, urged on by Julius Streicher's Der Stürmer, and most were back in place after the Olympic summer of 1936. Robert Ley's Labour Front prescribed the German greeting at every workplace.
