Potato harvest below the mountains, Oberau 1937

Sacks of potatoes stand in a row with a handcart at the edge of a field, and a woman stoops to fill another; behind them lie scattered farmhouses and a village church tower under a long wooded mountain. Then a man with a hoe and several women bent double gather potatoes into baskets across the field. The potato was the staple of the German diet, and the Reich Food Estate counted every hundredweight in its campaign to make Germany feed itself.
