An entertaining contemporary document about forest use 60 years ago at the transition from the post-war period to modern forestry technology. The video asks the question of how the forest can be used as economically as possible. Christmas trees, twigs, sleepers, pit wood and firewood are felled, cut up and sold. The viewer is amazed by the technology that was modern at the time, such as one- and two-man saws or - a real highlight - the original one-man chainsaw. The camera looks over the shoulders of forest workers as they fell the trees, prepare the trunks for their own benefit or measure and sort them. Running time approx. 25 minutes - Produced in 1960 - Published by the Agricultural and Domestic Evaluation and Information Service eV (AID): If you like the video, please like or share it or subscribe to our channel.
