A new channel through the forest, Reich Labour Service 1937

A wide channel runs straight into the distance between walls of spruce forest, its sloping banks faced with fitted stones and gravel, a shallow stream flowing over the pale bed; a few tiny figures are at work far down the cut. The labour service took on drainage, river control and land reclamation, schemes that promised new farmland and protection from floods and put tens of thousands of young men to work with spade and barrow.
