A curve of the Autobahn and a roadside building, 1937

From a height above the road, the two carriageways sweep in a broad curve between freshly banked slopes of raw earth and stones towards a low building with a car park beside the road, a few cars and a lorry small in the distance, and a dark band of forest along the horizon. Todt's engineers laid the Autobahn in long curves that followed the landscape, a principle the regime praised as German road-building.
