Bonn Demonstration against the Emergency Laws – II ( May 11, 1968)
Supporters of the Emergency Laws argued that in crisis situations, a “defensible democracy” was necessary. Opponents, however, compared the planned changes with the transition from the last presidential governments of the Weimar Republic to the Third Reich. Consequently, they used Nazi symbols on their posters to warn against a new “Reich.” This banner reads: "No Reich." Photo by Hilmar Pabel.
