Breaking stones for the embankment, Reich Labour Service 1937

On the gravel bank of the channel, among heaps of stone and a cart, a young man in a white shirt raises a sledgehammer high over his head and brings it down, while other men below lay stones along the edge of the water. A second view against the sky and the spruces shows him in mid-swing on the crest of the bank, the hammer a blur, a wheelbarrow at his feet.
