Assembly hall of the Leitz works, Wetzlar 1937

Looking down the length of a long, bright hall with tall windows on both sides, two rows of benches run into the distance, each lined with men and women in white coats bent over their work under suspended lamps; in the foreground a worker holds a small instrument up to his eye to check it. The Leitz works in Wetzlar employed several thousand people and exported a large share of their cameras, earning the foreign currency that the Reich was desperately short of.
