Girls marching past the church in Wittenberg, 1937

Behind the mounds of earth and stones from the roadworks, a long column of girls in white blouses, dark neckerchiefs and dark skirts marches in step past the church portal, some with plaits swinging, arms moving in unison. Their dress is that of the Jungmädel, the branch of the Hitler Youth for girls aged ten to fourteen; by 1937 membership was all but expected, and from 1939 it became compulsory.
