A scrum on the sports field, Reich Labour Service 1937

On a meadow before a wooden hut and tall spruces, a line of young men in dark shorts closes into a tight scrum, arms locked round each other's shoulders, heaving and shoving against a group on the other side; the view then tilts up to clouds above the treetops, with the men's heads at the bottom of the frame. Games of strength and team struggle were part of every day in the camps, where the regime meant to forge a single Volksgemeinschaft out of students and farmhands.
