Gas Masked Nazi StormTroops Rehearse Forced March
Berlin -- Wearing gas masks in addition to heavy full pack equipment, Nazi storm troopers are shown as they competed in a pack-march relay around the Berlin district of Neukolln. The course was eight miles long, divided into sections of 500 yards. The competition was regarded as rehearsal of forced marches which might be ordered in case of military action.
