A ditch across the meadow, Reich Labour Service 1937

In close view a heavy boot presses a curved spade into the grass beside a freshly cut slit in the turf. Then the view widens across a flat meadow between two weathered hay barns, where young men spaced out in a line dig along the course of a new ditch, under a sky streaked with long clouds and the steep flank of a mountain. Many such ditches were cut to drain the valley floors.
