A lesson at the world map in the open air, 1937

Under a spreading tree at the edge of a meadow, a large world map in a frame is held up by a young man in shorts, while a leader in uniform points across it with his arm outstretched; the recruits, bare-chested, sit in rows on the grass before him, a hay hut and the forest behind. Political instruction, the so-called staatspolitischer Unterricht, was part of the service's daily programme, meant to teach the men the regime's view of Germany's place in the world.
