A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts a crowd of men with light skin tones wearing dark overcoats and hats. A winding line cuts diagonally across the center of a flat yard, stretching into the distance. To the left, a wooden structure is marked "WÄHLT HITLER" in block letters. Hundreds of bicycles cluster behind the queue, while long industrial buildings fill the background. In the foreground, a lone man walks toward us.
