Pole drill on the gravel square, Reich Labour Service 1937

On a broad gravel square under the mountains, a long line of men in shorts stands watching along the far side while a squad in front runs forward, raises long poles and flings them high; the poles turn in the air above the running figures, and the men leap with arms outstretched to catch them. Thrown and caught in unison, the poles were a test of timing as much as of strength.
