Couples driving on the Autobahn ride, 1937

Two young women in coats sit in one of the little cars and steer it round the end of the padded barrier, the attendant in knickerbockers pointing their way; further cars come on down the long straight, and in a wider view a car runs past a tall ladder-like frame of scaffolding beside the track. For most Germans in 1937 this was as close as they came to driving on a motorway: private cars were still few, and the Volkswagen promised by Hitler would never be delivered to them.
