Date correction

edit

Several details in the photograph suggest that the originally given year ‘1926’ cannot be the correct one. So in the lower left there is a copy of the weekly Nazi newspaper ‘Der Stürmer’ visible which bears the headline “Lösung der Judenfrage” (“Solution of the Jewish Question”). This can be dated quite accurately as the headline of issue number 46 in 1935 which was released in November of this year (the „Stürmer Index“ of the city archive of Nuremberg lists an article from issue 46/1935 with this headline written by the important Nuremberg Nazi Karl Holz). Furthermore, the tram car on the right gives its destination as “Adolf-Hitler-Pl.” (“Adolf Hitler Square”). There were no Adolf Hitler Squares at all in Germany before 1933. Also, the ‘Theater des Volkes’ (mentioned on the sign at the building on the left) was so-named only after the Nazis’ power grab. Hence the date given in the description overleaf was changed accordingly. --Gretarsson (talk) 17:17, 28 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
