''Fit for Active Service'' (also known as ''The Faith Healers'') is a drawing by 20th-century German artist George Grosz, created between 1916 and 1917. It is considered a seminal part of the post-World War I movement, ''Neue Sachlichkeit'', or New Objectivity. The medium is pen, brush, and ink on paper.
== Interpretation ==
''Fit for Active Service'' depicts a bare skeleton being judged as physically fit for conscription (the military doctor declares: “KV,” which abbreviates ''kriegsdienst-verwendugsfähig'', or “fit for active service”1). The German soldiers and military doctors around the conscript are well-rounded, some with dispositions of indifference, some grinning. The industrial smokestacks in the background windows are characteristic of Modernist and avant-garde art, symbolic of the social disillusion associated with rapid industrialization and urbanization. The military doctor dons the Iron Cross, a military medal awarded for bravery and leadership, debased by its often wide and undeserved distribution during the First World War.
