Cutting turf in a mountain meadow, Reich Labour Service 1937

On a rough, tussocky meadow dotted with wooden hay barns and closed by a rounded wooded hill, two young men bare to the waist drive their spades into the turf and lever out sods; then, seen from below against towering clouds and a mountain range, a gang of four works along a line of freshly cut earth. Draining wet meadows for grazing and hay was one of the main tasks of the service in the Alpine valleys.
