postcards and photos from the early-mid 1900s

Grub aus Munchen, Ewige Wache

The top left hand and two bottom photos are where the iron coffins of the men who were killed in front of the wreaths in the top right hand photo lie. The two men standing on either side are always there, and you do the Hitler salute when you pass. The first time we didn’t know anything about that, and couldn’t understand what the men were hissing and stamping their feet at until we saw two other people salute as they passed. The men were killed on November the 9th 1923 at the time of the foundation of the National Socialist Party I think and the temple place above has wreaths from different districts of Germany in it, and steps up from the right side of the picture.
