Working knee-deep in the stream, Reich Labour Service 1937

In a stream bed at the foot of a newly paved, sloping embankment, a group of young men stands knee-deep in the water, bare to the waist or in vests, and digs out the gravel with shovels and picks, heaving it up behind a timber sluice beam that crosses the channel; spruces and a mountain line stand beyond. The wet, cold work in the streams was among the hardest the service asked of its men.
