Description
Government troops in Berlin 1920.
The photo shows government troops loyal to the Republic securing the Reichstag during the Kapp Putsch in 1920. The soldiers, equipped with a machine gun, control access to the building to prevent putschists from seizing the seat of parliament. This presence symbolises the determined efforts of the Weimar Republic to defend its democratic order against the right-wing insurgents and Freikorps units.
