In those days it was customary to applaud a political speech after it was done by clapping your hands over your head (1935) After the speech the crowd began thunderous applause but no one dared stop or even slow down because secret agents were watching and the one who stopped clapping first might be seen as disloyal.
À l'époque, c'était la coutume d'applaudir en battant des mains au-dessus de sa tête après un discours politique (1935) Après le discours, un tonnerre d'applaudissements a monté de la foule.
