A uniformed police officer stands amid the traffic, raising an arm to wave vehicles through as a tram, a double-decker bus and several automobiles cross the intersection. The footage was shot at central traffic hubs of the capital, Unter den Linden and Potsdamer Platz, emblematic of the dense urban transport of the Weimar Republic. Berlin at the time was regarded as one of the most modern and traffic-heavy cities in Europe, where public transit and private motoring existed side by side.
