3 YEAR REICHSAUTOBAHN - GERMAN FREEWAY BOOK 1936

DREI JAHRE ARBEIT AN DEN
STRASSEN ADOLF HITLERS
(THREE YEARS OF WORK ON THE
HIGHWAYS OF ADOLF HITLER)
GERMAN FREEWAY
CONSTRUCTION BOOK 1936

This is an excellent original example and Presentation Volume of the very rare 9-3/8 x 10-1/8 inch, 96 page Third Reich German hardcover book DREI JAHR ARBEIT AN DEN STRASSEN ADOLF HITLERS or “Three Years Of Work On The Highways Of Adolf Hitler” as published for Chief Autobahn Engineer Dr. Ing. Fritz Todt by Volk und Reich Verlag of Berlin, Germany in 1936.

This very heavily illustrated linen covered book records the evolution of the world’s first freeway system, from concept to reality in the third year of its construction - 1935.

The text and maps explain the construction standards, traffic density and the route system of the Autobahn (completed, under construction and proposed) while perhaps 125 large full- and half-page photos record every aspect of construction from worker’s housing to bridges, on- and off ramps, and rest stop facilities.

This specific book has a bookplate pasted inside the front cover showing that it was once part of the library of the United States Department of Agriculture. Inside the back cover is a stamp that the book was withdrawn from that same library. On the title page is a stamp of the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads and the date 24 February 1938 on it.

It is interesting to note that the American Bureau of Public Roads was carefully studying the progress of Adolf Hitler's freeways in Germany!

Complete and in good used condition.
