Labour Service men walk to the canal works, 1937

Against the light, a file of young men walks through tall pines towards a sunlit lake with wooded hills beyond; then, seen from above, two men in vests and work trousers bend in a stony, freshly dug channel, clearing stones from the water that runs along its bed, while a third digs with a shovel. The Reich Labour Service, compulsory for young men since June 1935, set them to work draining, embanking and digging for six months before military service.
