Driving on the Autobahn toward Düsseldorf, 1937

The view from a car driving along the motorway: two concrete lanes, almost empty of traffic, run between grassy embankments, a house with a steep roof and poplars stands on the crest, and a concrete bridge carries a road across; a car or two appear far ahead, and a signpost stands at the roadside. The road ran between Cologne and Düsseldorf. The Rhineland already had the first German motor road of all, from Cologne to Bonn, which Mayor Konrad Adenauer had opened in 1932, before Hitler came to power.
