In the 1930s, Hermann Göring was tasked with securing the industrial side of rearmament. On 27 March 1940, he called for donations of metal. The Church of St. Ulrich in Regensburg was one of many collection sites. This photograph was taken on 9 April 1940. Systematic collection of scrap metal also took place in Norway.
