Description

German school children, boys as well as girls, who have finished school are henceforth to be sent to camps in the country where they will have to pass nine months in the outdoor surroundings and get acquainted with life in the country before taking up their respective professions. This photo shows some of the first batch of 300 leaving Berlin for an East Prussian camp. They seem to be looking forward eagerly to their new temporary homes.Credit line (ACME) 4/25/34Stamp: ACME Newspictures, Inc.; Ref. Dept. Jun 1 1934 N. E. A.
