Gathering sheaves in a grain field, 1937

Across a flat stubble field under a heavy sky, sheaves of grain stand propped together in stooks; an old woman in a headscarf and dark apron stoops, gathers one up in her arms and carries it off, while a man bends to the next. The work was done by hand, as it had been for centuries: in the Battle of Production proclaimed by the Reich Food Estate, every sheaf counted toward the goal of feeding Germany without imports.
