Medicine-ball training, Reich Labour Service 1937

Young men in dark shorts with a badge on the leg stand in a row, each hugging a leather medicine ball to his stomach; one in a white vest steps forward and hurls his ball, and then the whole row swings the balls back over their heads and bends to throw in unison, the huts and a mountain behind them. The exercises served a double purpose: fitness for the heavy digging and fitness for the army that the men would join after their service.
