Taking a break during the twelve-hour shift was unthinkable. Many skipped lunch, preferring to drill at the walls instead. And going aboveground to use the toilet was a sure ticket to ostracism, so most defecated inside metal buckets, known as Toilettenwannen. Though the hard-rock miners were legendary for their love of brandy and beer, few drank it underground, where it could hamper efficiency and get them behind on their bonuses.
Temperance faltered, however, at week’s end when the bonuses arrived. The bars in Schlema were periodically told to close down on payday: There was bingeing and brawls, and some wives complained they never saw the money before it was spent. The pay and the generous rations were lucrative enough to attract occasional defectors from West Germany, such as a man named Herbert Kampf, who was held up as a model convert to the Socialist cause. He obligingly told a local newspaper, “I follow my brigade.”
