Reichskraft filling station below the Funkturm, Berlin 1937

A modern filling station with a sweeping, rounded canopy and a small tower bears the name REICHSKRAFT in large letters; a boy runs across the forecourt, two women walk past, a saloon car stands by the kerb and a swastika flag flies from a mast. Behind the poplars rises the steel lattice of the Funkturm with its restaurant platform, built by Heinrich Straumer for the radio exhibition of 1926. Private cars were still a rarity in Germany; the people's car Hitler had promised in 1934 had yet to be built.
