Change of shift at an airship works, 1937

On a wide, flat airfield edged by a fence and low sheds, workers walk and ride bicycles and motorcycles along a road toward the gate at the change of shift. Beside a brick building, under a corrugated-iron roof, a long rack holds dozens of bicycles in tangled rows; an older man in a cap leads his bicycle out, mounts and rides away. For most German workers of the 1930s the bicycle, not the car, was the way to work; Hitler's promised Volkswagen existed only as a prototype.
