This was the first time the East Prussians had exercised in Danzig. The joint display was obviously intended as a demonstration agninst Polnnd.

In retaliation for the recent confiscation of German nationals' homes in Polish Silesia, the German secret police seized the headquarters of the Polish minority in Ratibor, which they presented to the Hitler Youth Movement.
