That's very interesting Carl , I guess even the worst of humanity needed to "get away from it" from time to time and try to forget the atrocities that they were taking part in. Leon.

The reality is that in German and Austrian society of the epoch great prestige adhered to the humane treatment of animals, whereas, human beings (formerly citizens) whom ideology damned as sub human could be disenfranchised step by step and then slaughtered wholesale.

This is a positively odd picture from the fall of 1939, with those SS Reiter who did not trot off to Poland to cause mayhem. They apparently gave Zoo rides while their kassierte horses were off to the east. This scene was also some kind of Winterhilfswerk or charity drive for the SS in battle. This sort of thing is not how you imagine these people, in fact. Maybe this site is the Tiergarten in Berlin.
i am almost certain this is the U Bahnhof Wittenbergplatz.
the cone would represent the camera's approximate field of view, the "x" the camel and riders and SS men, and the drainage pipe visible in the background of the original photo is circled here as it appeared on the side of U Bahnhof Wittenbergplatz.
the building is symmetrical and the shot could have been taken from the other side.
the photograph i am using here was taken about 10 or 15 years before the one shown above.

Looks like a small donation was needed for a ride, you can keep the camel, I want the dagger lol
