VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This black and white photograph captures a moment from an innovative police training exercise. The image shows German police recruits engaged in revolver practice at a Berlin training school, sometime in the early to mid-20th century. A recruit lies prone on a padded bench, aiming his firearm at a moving target projected onto a screen by the large cinema-style projector to his left. An instructor stands behind him, possibly providing guidance or assessing his performance. The use of film targets for shooting practice suggests an attempt to simulate real-life scenarios and improve the trainees' accuracy under dynamic conditions. The caption below emphasizes that this method is part of rigorous training deemed necessary for the German police force, which is described as "a much more martial body than their London opposite numbers. "
