Exercises with wooden poles on the parade ground, 1937

Beneath a great wall of limestone peaks, rows of young men in shorts bend forward in unison on a raked gravel square; closer, pairs of men carry long pale poles on their shoulders and swing them in step, their bodies turning together while the mountains stand behind them. Konstantin Hierl, the Reich Labour Leader, saw the service as a school of the nation; its drill with the spade and the pole was modelled on the army's drill with the rifle.
