Washing mess tins in the SS camp, 1937

A row of young men in SS sports shirts, with a helmeted man in a black tunic at the end, rinse their mess tins under the pipe of a wooden washing stand; one tips his tin back to drink, and behind them a swastika pennant flutters above a lattice tower. The men of the armed SS units, whose numbers were still small in 1937, were being built up under Himmler into a force of their own beside the army.
