The Reichsautobahn through a pine forest, 1937

From a bridge the view looks straight down the Autobahn: two pale concrete carriageways divided by a dark central strip run to a vanishing point between walls of tall, thin pines; a single car approaches in the distance and a small van passes beneath the camera. Fritz Todt, Inspector General of German Roads, had begun building in September 1933; the thousandth kilometre opened in September 1936.
