Taken in September 1942. The Nazi propaganda on the reverse of the picture reads, "Luxembourgians become Germans of the Reich. During a major German People's Movement rally, Gustav Simons, Chief of Civil Affairs in Luxembourg, awarded honoured ethnic Germans with German Reich citizenship in front of around 9, 000 participants. German Wehrmacht and SS-Army volunteers as well as their relatives, members of the Volksdeutsche (ethnic German) movement, (who are included in the NSDAP) police officers, (who take an oath to the leader) and other persons are all awarded German citizenship by the Head of Civil Affairs to acknowledge their special contributions to the German cause.
