Sentry and men in spiked helmets at the Neue Wache, 1937

In the shadow between two columns of the Neue Wache, a Wehrmacht sentry in steel helmet with his rifle at the order stands rigidly beside men in the dark tunics and spiked helmets of the imperial army; then the view drops to his polished jackboots, planted apart on a worn wooden step. Old and new uniforms side by side at the memorial were a deliberate picture of continuity: the new Wehrmacht presented itself as heir to the army of 1914.
