Preparing a cot in the infant-care class, 1937

A woman shakes out and spreads bedding in a white-painted cot with slatted sides; in close view her hand smooths a striped mattress cover over a dark filling while other hands hold the rails. Infant-care courses were the core of the Reichsmütterdienst: the regime wanted more children and fewer infant deaths, and it made hygiene a matter of national policy rather than of private household habit.
