1931 Kettle Bells


I don't know if the Germans invented kettle bells,
but they sure do show up a lot in FKK photos from the interwar era.

  2. Quite amazing. The bodies and tone and capturing the kettle balls in midair and synchronized.

    1. An excellent photo. This magazine page scan is a bit grainy, and I'd love to see the original.

  3. These sets are always interesting to view, I like their commitment to freedom and their relaxed attitude towards the human body.

    1. They were too relaxed and free thinking for the Nazis, who suppressed their organizational framework, but did not persecute them the way they did so many others. Their resilience was remarkable, and they were back in a big way by 1950.
