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 31, 1944: "The German people are standing up. German men from all ranks and age groups are joining the Volkssturm. This World War II participant was also present at the first march of the German Volkssturm from the Lower Silesia Gau." Photo: Fotoarchiv fuer Zeitgeschichte/Archiv [automated translation]
