Guard of honour at the Neue Wache, 1937

Beside the massive fluted columns and steps of the Neue Wache, a file of soldiers in steel helmets with fixed bayonets marches in toward the portico, halts and stands to attention next to the sentry; behind them a crowd lines the railings under the trees, and a bronze statue on a pedestal stands in the garden. Karl Friedrich Schinkel had built the guardhouse in 1816-18; in 1931 Heinrich Tessenow turned its interior into the memorial to the dead of the World War, and the regime made it the Reich's chief place of remembrance.
