Under the bridges of the Reichsautobahn, 1937

Behind a black saloon car, the car carrying the camera drives down the right-hand lane toward a slender concrete bridge on a single pier, passes into its shadow and out again onto a straight stretch between pine woods, other cars far ahead. The bridges were designed to be part of the landscape, as Fritz Todt, the regime's inspector general of roads, demanded; every new stretch was opened with flags, speeches and newsreel cameras.
