Answer 1

war meant training meant taking a lad giving him a gun asking him to pull the trigger then showing him how to reload , if he did 3 times without shooting himself then he would be shipped to some foreign country to be slaughtered for the moral good of the world .

Answer 2

If you look at the Nazi propoganda films of the 1900 you will see all that you need to know. Groups of people performing arms swing (with or without indian clubs), toe touches, star jumps and the like following an instructor at the front. Also viewing the famale training films show the difference in approach for the women, using hoops and sreamers on end of stick.

Answer 3

People walked and rode horses, chopped wood, climbed up ropes if they were on ship and if they didn't climb ropes they had to "dance" or run in place for twenty minutes a day as well as spend most of the day hauling ropes or scraping the decks with a stone. They had to fetch water, cut firewood, row boats, cut trees with an ax and cut crops with a sickle, drove in railway stakes with hammers. Built every building and dug every hole by hand. For some strange reason armies and navies didn't think people needed physical training.

Answer 4

I need a time machine to go there to see by myself.Thank you.
But as far as I know there was balley and there were also popular dances, and there was training for riding cause everyone had a horse and I think they walked by foot a lot. Especially for women were some basic movements, arms and legs as far as the gym clothes allowed it.
