Military trucks and marching soldiers fill the street in front of the Technische Hochschule, Berlin's technical university, in this 1939 view of a parade. The date on the record, April 20, 1939, was Adolf Hitler's birthday, a day the regime marked with public military displays across the capital. The print comes from a photo album of Hermann Göring's public appearances from that spring, which places the scene within his official calendar. The caption information was transcribed from old cards and later revised, so the exact location and date are worth checking against other sources.
