Gauleiter Robert Wagner Speaks in the Podium

The Nazi Party-related events were highlight of those days, therefore numerous color slides remain. Robert Heinrich Wagner stands at the podium. Robert Heinrich Wagner, born as Robert Heinrich Backfisch (13 October 1895 – 14 August 1946) was a Nazi Party official and politician who served as Gauleiter and Reichsstatthalter of Baden, and Chief of Civil Administration for Alsace during the German occupation of France in World War II. This slide is a part of circa 40 color frames, and it is clear that they were taken by an assigned photographer. The number 65, indicating the 65. SS-Standarte, can be clearly seen on the collar of the black SS. The person in the back wearing black pants with a white line on his armband is a member of the Hitler Youth (the participation of various organizations of the Nazi Party can be seen more clearly in color).
