Afternoon Armband Armbands Berlin Civilian Crowded Crowds Eating Linden Slacker Sunny Unter
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War, life in Berlin continued in unexpected ways. Above, an afternoon crowd gathers in Unter den Linden, the grand boulevard of the German capital, basking in the warm September sun. The trees lining the street are a vibrant green, their leaves shimmering in the sunlight. Despite the ongoing conflict, people go about their daily routines, chatting and laughing as they walk along the crowded and bustling street. Below, a scene of tranquility unfolds in a sunlit park. People sit on blankets and benches, enjoying a leisurely meal in the open air. Two women, both wearing Red Cross armbands, are visible in the crowd. The Red Cross was a prominent humanitarian organization during the war, providing aid to wounded soldiers and civilians alike. The question arises, has Germany also her slackers? The answer is not straightforward. While some Germans evaded military service through various means, many continued to work and contribute to the war effort in their own ways. These scenes offer a glimpse into the complexities of life in Berlin during the early part of the First World War, a time of war and peace, hardship and resilience.
