The motif from the National Socialist propaganda shows armed members of the German Volkssturm, taken in October 1944. The National Socialist reporting writes on the back of the picture on October 21, 1944: "The German people are standing up. The Fuehrer announced the Volkssturm. German men of all ages and from all professions have lined up for training and are ready to defend their home borders." Photo: Fotoarchiv fuer Zeitgeschichte/Archiv [automated translation]
