A woman hitchhiking on a country road, 1937

On a straight country road through open fields, a young woman in a dark dress stands beside her suitcase and raises her hand to wave down a lift; a woman in a headscarf pushing a bicycle with a small child on it passes by, and the child waves. Hitchhiking was common among young Germans in the 1930s, who had little money and few cars to choose from.
