background: On July 6, 1940, Adolf Hitler returned to Berlin, Germany, after eight weeks overseeing the German military campaign in Western Europe. His return followed the successful invasion and occupation of the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, and France, culminating in the armistice with France signed on June 22, 1940. Berlin greeted him with a massive, organized celebration, as crowds lined the streets from Anhalter railway station to the Reich Chancellery. The event was marked by enthusiastic displays, including flowers, flags, and music, with church bells ringing and Nazi propaganda amplifying the spectacle. Hitler appeared on the Chancellery balcony alongside key figures like Hermann Göring, greeted by cheering crowds. This moment marked the height of his popularity in Germany, though it also set the stage for escalating tensions as Germany prepared for further conflict, including plans against Britain.
