Eisenhower saw the Autobahn at the end of World War 2 and was inspired to create the Interstate Highway System in the US when he was President.

Another idea stolen from us by America

World's first highway system

[@donsevcik4317]

*built for cars. The Roman built the first highway system not Germany

@@donsevcik4317 Not highways but those were only roads for horses. Highway is meant for cars so its the world's first highway system. Germans did it first

6:43, That's the Hindenburg, right?

[@wftungsten]

Probably, I suppose that the autobahn finished by '38, but could be earlier. The Hindenburg fell in '37

Only for it to be nearly destroyed by 1943-1945

[@mmaedits2002]

It acutally wasnt

[@u.s.militia7682]

Beautiful Germany before it was destroyed by ignorance. I wish I could’ve seen it. I saw it in 2004 but I know it wasn’t the same.

[@Kubulek17]

... you sure about what you're saying ?

[@AshishOnline]

Should have seen it in 1940 then , your fascist arse would be really happy.

See? Before the conflict, western reporting glorifies these projects just like modern China is portrayed

[@RaptorFromWeegee]

I feel like this vid should a been accompanied by some Wagner in the background

[@christianx8494]

As you see only little of the work was done by strong, half-naked „Aryans“ with pickaxe and shovel. That are propaganda shots. The project did a lot to inspire civil engineering but had no overwhelming effect on the job market.
