Read Down and Out in Paris and London. Orwell was advised not to go too deeply into physical labor. It's very hard to mentally recover from that kind of regimen. Beyond that, being tall and lanky, he admitted that he was at a deep disadvantage as a laborer.

Hitler's devotion to the working man was unique and glorious. But he never thought they could replace the managerial and thinking classes.

I'm not a fan of Orwell. He diagnosed the problem and then ascribed it to the wrong cause. He died a moronic Leftist.

He was slowly getting better. He hated his old comrades, the Russian Communists, towards the end.
