Woman tucking a liquor bottle into her Russian boot during Prohibition in the United States

Photo taken in Washington DC on January 21, 1922. The significance of the swastikas in the floor tiles is unclear but was probably unrelated to German "National Socialism." Long before swastikas were misappropriated by Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), swastikas were for centuries an artistic design element in many cultures that was considered conducive to well-being. In 1920, Hitler adopted the swastika as a national symbol of Germany and as the central element in the party flag of the National Socialist Party (Nazi Party), which rose to power in Germany during the following decade.
