On average, the German people celebrated the Nazi Party. This is particularly evedent on these two pages where we see the people applauding the procession of Nazi soldiers in the parade. Most citizens saluted, burned with applause, and "kept faces contorted by pride." Hans, on the other hand, wore "a face with the shades pulled down," meaning he masked his feelings, which were negative at best.
