Throwing poles in the air, Reich Labour Service 1937

In front of ranks of men drawn up in formation before the spruce woods and the huts, a line of young men crouches low with long poles, then on command they spring up and throw the poles high over their heads, arms raised to catch them as they fall; the poles fill the sky in a lattice of pale lines. It is gymnastics as spectacle, the kind of massed display the regime loved to show at its rallies.
