"Rain coming from a bright sky." Figuratively "something unexpected".

Nazi officers and female auxiliaries (Helferinnen) run down a wooden bridge in Solahutte. Karl Hoecker is pictured in the center. The original caption reads: "Rain coming from a bright sky." Figuratively "something unexpected".

I find some of the discussion there (at vintagephoto) kind of interesting too.  I'm starting to think I should have a "Nazi" tag.  Ok, done.

Members of the SS Helferinnen (female auxiliaries) and SS Officer Karl Hoecker sit on a fence railing in Solahutte eating bowls of blueberries.  In the background is a man playing the accordion.  The original caption reads "Blaubeeren" (there are blueberries here).


SS Officer Karl Hoecker pets his dog Favorit.

I had to lead that Hum conference. It went...interestingly. By which I mean that no one talked, and people did not understand what I was trying to say, and then we got on a tangent about American politics when the prof tried to convince me that Americans decided elections rationally based on who was the better candidate. On the other hand, a girl came up to me after class and said that was the first time she'd heard anthro used productively, and Nick liked my points and brought them up in his (next) conference, so people eventually understood me.
