With the construction of the Reichsautobahn of Adolf Hitler under the direction of Dr. Ing. Fritz Todt during the 1930s, the foreign and domestic travel industries in Germany flourished. The big 10 x 14 inch monthly travel, traffic and scenery magazine Deutschland (Germany) circulated in the professional travel and hospitality industries. Each issue had a gorgeous full-color cover and was absolutely stuffed with in-depth photo feature articles on German travel destinations and German celebrations. Naturally, each issue also contained splendid ads from companies with a product or service to sell to those involved in travel within Germany.

Many cities, small towns and health resorts advertise their attractions and facilities in this April 1938 Deutschland magazine and Siemens & Halske has a beautiful ad for their amateur and professional film cameras.

This 85 year old issue of Deutschland was published by Reichsausschuss für Fremdenverkehr in Berlin and printed by Deutscher Verlag. It is in very nice used condition. A previous owner stamped the date 1 Aug. 1938 on the front cover near the top edge. No odor.
