To Hitler's left are two other men in Nazi Party uniform, and spectators sitting in stands can be seen to the left of the wall in background. Narrative: The cigarette cards were packaged inside of Salem cigarette packs and were used as NSDAP propaganda in the 1930s. They were meant to be collected and inserted into an accompanying album.
