At the Westhafen in the Moabit district, women shovel briquettes from a railway wagon into sacks that are then loaded onto trucks. The coal came from the Soviet occupation zone and was distributed in the western sectors to bakeries and public offices, as Berlin suffered from chronic fuel shortages after the war. With many men dead, held as prisoners of war, or occupied clearing rubble, women also took on this heavy manual labor. The following winter of 1946/47 would become remembered as one of the harshest postwar winters.
