The transport of these arrested leaders of the Socialist Party through the streets of Karlsruhe, Germany, was choreographed to feed the Nazi propaganda machine. Guarded by SA and SS personnel, the "criminals" were jeered by hostile crowds along the entire route to the prison at Kislau, Germany. Photographs of the staged event were later used as part of a postcard series glorifying the elimination of the subversive elements within German society. According to Nazi lore, the Socialists shouldered responsibility for the failures of the despised Weimar Republic.
