Ban on demonstrations confirmed

With a view to the upcoming May Day holiday, Berlin’s police superintendent Karl Friedrich Zörgiebel (SPD) reaffirms on 28 April 1929 the ban on demonstrations which had been issued in Prussia a few weeks before. He is afraid there will be more violent clashes between the national socialist Assault Battalion (SA) and the communist Red Combatants’ League (RFB).
