3. REICHSFAHRT: 3rd state ride (or rally).

There is a page on it in the German Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsfahrt
But the 1931 one in Breslau is not mentioned there.

They were rather long trips where the several brands could show what they were worth.

I am not going to translate all of that page (try Google translate or similar when you want), but it says also that while most of them were organised by the ADAC, some were by the Stahhelm, a more political organisation.
Could this one have been organised by an even more political organisation than Stahlhelm, the NSDAP?

If not, what is that thing doing on the eagle?
