Morning exercise at a labour-service camp, Bavarian Alps 1937

On a sunlit gravel square before long wooden huts, dozens of young men in dark shorts, stripped to the waist and with cropped hair, swing their arms and bend in the loose order of a warm-up; a young man turns towards the lens, and a last view rises over the forested slopes to a sawtooth mountain ridge under drifting clouds. Since June 1935 every young German man had to serve six months in the Reich Labour Service before his military service.
