Workers levelling ground as a tram passes, Berlin 1937

On a broad, freshly levelled surface an older worker in a cap drags a tool along the edge while two younger men bend double to smooth the fill with their hands and shovels. Behind them poplars line the site, a tram runs past the long exhibition-style halls, and the balloon still hangs over the rooftops. The Funkturm grounds in the west of the city were being enlarged in these years for the trade fairs and exhibitions the regime staged in Berlin.
