Five men digging in step below the mountains, 1937

Against a sweeping mountain ridge and a sky of white cumulus, five young men, most of them bare to the waist, stand in a line along a fresh ditch in the meadow and drive their spades into the turf together, step, push and lift, a heap of earth piling up in front of them. It is the labour service as its own propaganda wished to show it: youth, the spade and the German landscape joined in one frame.
