Tipping a loaded wagon on the building site, Berlin 1937

Four workers put their shoulders to a heavy tipper wagon on a narrow field railway and rock it over; heaps of stone lie behind them, and a round building ringed with columns rises on the right. In a closer view the men tip the wagon on its side before a long, many-windowed office block, and a worker in a waistcoat stands with his hands on his hips. Much of this work was still done with muscle rather than machines, and the public building sites were meant to show that the unemployment of 1932 had been overcome.
