This is a photo of a group of Berlin students on their way to enlist in the military. This shows that not all men dreaded the idea of going to war. By looking at this picture one can tell that they are excited and want everyone to know that they are enlisting in the war. Men during WWI were often pressured to enlist. It was considered as their duty for their country. Men that did not enlist were considered cowards. Men that did enlist were thought highly of and considered heroes. Although the men in this picture are enjoying the fandom of being heroes for their country, it will mean nothing to them once they are actually fighting for their lives.
