A Wehrmacht sentry at his post, 1937

A young soldier in a steel helmet and field-grey tunic, the braided cord of a marksmanship lanyard across his chest, stands motionless at his post with his rifle upright against a dark wooden wall; at the lower edge of the frame a boy leans in and grins at the camera. Conscription, reintroduced in March 1935, brought a whole generation of young men into uniform for two years.
