Women with shovels transfer briquettes from a freight wagon at the Westhafen, the large inland harbour in Berlin's former Tiergarten district, Moabit locality, within the British sector. The coal came from the Soviet occupation zone and was distributed from here to bakeries and municipal facilities. In devastated postwar Berlin, women frequently carried out such heavy labor because men were prisoners of war, killed, or disabled. Fuel supplies remained scarce and vital for heating and bread ovens in the winters after 1945.
