Uniformed men laugh as they lift a barrier pole

In close view two men in dark uniform tunics and peaked caps grip a long, pale wooden pole with a bolt hole near its end and lift it at a slant, grinning; a young man in a pullover looks on between them, and another uniformed man raises his arm at the left edge. The pole appears to be the boom of a frontier barrier. Scenes of barriers being raised at the German-Austrian border on 12 March 1938 went round the world.
