Fasse dich kurz: inside a Berlin telephone booth, 1937
Through the glass door a man enters the booth; inside, a man in a bowler hat stands at the wall telephone with its coin box and crank, under a sign that tells him Fasse dich kurz!, keep it short, with printed notices and a list of charges on the walls around him; he lifts the receiver and turns to look through the window. The Reichspost sign, familiar since the 1920s, became part of the language; for Germans under a regime that listened in, it acquired a second meaning.
