One trading card from the Red Menace collection, "41. To the Mines" depicting laborers in mines overworked, one laborer leans on another. Reverse side contains propaganda narrative mentioning uranium mines in the "Soviet Occupation Zone of Eastern Germany," requires forced labor in exchange for rations. Working conditions are poor due to malfunctioning infrastructure in the mines, which often leads to floods.
