They are standing in front of a wide doorway blocked by a crowd of men watching another official put on a protective suit. The doorway is flanked by two more officials.The photograph was shot in the context of two articles that appeared in Cumhuriyet in August 1939 reporting on military defence operations against air raids and chemical weapons attacks. Cumhuriyet covered the military exercise in great detail, announcing which action was to take place in which part of town and at what time. The official photographed here putting on a chemical-resistant suit is probably demonstrating its use to the spectators, while the two uniformed men at the doorway secure the location.Not specifiedNot specifiedTurkeyTurkeyIstanbulBeyazıt, FatihDün sabah yapılan hava taarruzu tecrübelerinden muhtelif intıbalar.
