Published in Association with the German Historical Institute,
Washington, D.C. Hitler's autobahn was more than just the pet
project of an infrastructure-friendly dictator. It was supposed to
revolutionize the transportation sector in Germany, connect the
metropoles with the countryside, and encourage motorization. The
propaganda machinery of the Third Reich turned the autobahn into a
hyped-up icon of the dictatorship. One of the claims was that the
roads would reconcile nature and technology. Rather than destroying
the environment, they would embellish the landscape. Many
historians have taken this claim at face value and concluded that
the Nazi regime harbored an inbred love of nature. In this book,
the author argues that such conclusions are misleading. Based on
rich archival research, the book provides the first scholarly
account of the landscape of the autobahn.
