Originally published in the Völkischer Beobachter, it supposedly showed the intense emotions of joy which swept the populace as Hitler drove through the streets of Cheb, 99% of whose inhabitants were ardently pro-Nazi Sudeten Germans at the time. In contrast, when the photo was published in the U.S., it was captioned, "The tragedy of this Sudeten woman, unable to conceal her misery as she dutifully salutes the triumphant Hitler, is the tragedy of the silent millions who have been ‘won over’ to Hitlerism by the ‘everlasting use’ of ruthless force." It is unknown what the true circumstances surrounding the photo are.
it was wikipedia’s picture of the day back in October 17th, 2007.
