Both images are very powerful. The earlier photograph would have been quite widely distributed at the time. It was taken at a large rally and celebrates the connections between Hitler’s Nazi Germany and the Fascist State of Italy. The colourised photograph is a good way of seeing how the rallies would have impacted upon those present. The imagery is often lost in the black and white images.
