This is a class photo of the Volkshule Dortmund-Kirchenlinde--a class of boys in the upper division of the school. Many of these boys were preparing to be teachers although the school is not specifically a school for teachers. The source tells us that most of the boys in this class were 14 years old with perhaps a few a year or so younger. We would guess that they are avout 12-13 years old. That is just the age that would mean that they were soldiers at the time that Hitler launched Worrld war II (1939). So many would have died at an early age. The boys are wearing standard schoolboy clothes for the 1920s--suits with knee trousers, and long black stockings. We see different jacket styles, including sailor suits. Many of them wear Schiller collars with their jackets. No one seems to be wearing ties. Only the teacher wears a necktie. The boys all seem to be wearing high-top leather shoes.
