Men in an Opel convertible wave to people standing at the roadside in this 1937 photograph from a motor tour of Yugoslavia and Bulgaria by officials of the National Socialist Motor Corps (NSKK). The NSKK was a Nazi paramilitary organization, formed in 1931, that promoted motoring and served the party's propaganda aims, so a friendly roadside greeting like this one may have been meant to project goodwill abroad. The album caption is unverified, so the exact route and dates are uncertain, but the image shows how the regime sought to present its travels in the late 1930s.
