Armoured Berlin Communist Freikorps Strike Suppress Uprisings 1919 Alexander Platz
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in history - the General Strike of March 1919 in Berlin. The image shows the presence of Freikorps, likely Lutzow, in Alexanderplatz as they were called upon to help suppress Communist uprisings during this tumultuous time.
The scene is filled with tension and unrest, as armored cars line the streets and armed soldiers stand guard. The stark contrast between the peaceful protest of the strikers and the intimidating presence of the Freikorps highlights the struggle for power and control that was taking place in Germany at that time.
As we look at this historical photograph, we are reminded of the events that shaped our world today. The General Strike of 1919 was a turning point in German history, leading to further political upheaval and ultimately influencing future events.
Through this image, we are transported back to a moment when ideologies clashed and lives were forever changed. It serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding our past in order to shape a better future.
