Picks and spades in stony ground, Reich Labour Service 1937

In a strip of broken, stony ground bordered by stacked sods, a gang of young men bare to the waist works with picks and spades, lifting and turning the earth; one straightens up and looks across, grinning, while the others keep on. A close view follows a pick biting into the gravel between two pairs of boots. Most of the recruits came straight from school, office or farm and had never done a day of such work.
