Figure 1.-- This small German class was located at a school in amall village named Hallmann, which we can't locate anywhere in Germany. The students look to me about 6-10 years old. The younger children are in the front row. The boys and girls wear normal school clothes. The boys wear sweaters, short trousers, and long stockings with supporters (Strapsleibchen). You can see the garter clasps on the leg of a boy in a rear row, sitting on the aisle. One of the interesting features of the photo is the older Wehrmacht (Heer) officer.

This small German class was located at a school in small village named Hallmann, which we can't locate anywhere in Germany. The students look to me about 6-10 yeats old. The younger children are in the front row. The boys and girls wear normal school clothes.. The boys wear sweaters, short trousers, and long stockings with supporters (Strapsleibchen). You can see the garter clasps on the leg of a boy in a rear row, sitting on the aisle. One of the interesting features of the photo is the older Wehrmacht (Heer) officer. Perhaps he had come for the day to lecture the children, but he looks more like a teacher. We have noted disabled soldiers used as teagers during the War, in part because so many teachers (who were mostly male) were conscripted for military service. But we have not noted soldiers as teachers before the War. Another possibility is that he was in the Reserve. The source dates the picture 1938-39, so it would have been just before World War II or shortly after it had begun. The class looks rather small (only about 14 children of mixed ages), so presumably Hallmann was a rather small village.
