Lost in the aura around WWII is the fact that German civilians led their daily lives under the watchful eyes of the Nazi regime and it permeated every aspect of their activities. Here we see two members of the Nazi German bicycle team that had just competed and won an event and they proudly display the huge swastika along with flowers. A touching image that turns an otherwise innocent image into an eerie political statement. Issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well.
