Based on what you have observed list 3 things you might infer from the photograph
1•
The young boys supported Hitler and his views
•
Along with supporting his views, I infer they were brainwashed to think this way since they are all
wearing the same outfit, showing me that they conform to the rules

3. •
Out of all three of these boys, I infer that not one of them is Jewish considering they show their
support to hitlers view by soluting him
•
I can infer from the photo by the facial expressions on their face and their body language that they
all shared a close bond
•
I can infer that they are in a war by the uniforms they are wearing and by the gun shown in the
photograph
•
From the background of the photograph, I can infer that the living conditions of the soldiers were not
good
•
From the photo, I can infer that the men more than likely just got off work of somesort and are
relieved by the news they just heard and are acting accordingly
•
The men in the photograph who are pouring out the alchohol in the streets seem to have a
michevious look on their face, telling me that they don’t mind who sees them doing this
•
From the photo, I get a sense of freedom coming from the men who are pouring out the big tubs of
alcohol
