Seems my post hasn't made it, so again: Loads of beautiful historic cars: @: starting with two Mercedes-Benz 2-seated Cabriolets (US would call these roadsters), probably 1937 W142 types (Mercedes 320) @: Mercedes turns into a 1937 Opel Admiral Cabriolet ;-) @: Opel Admiral dash. Note the "75" badge at the right, indicating 75 yrs of Opel. Opel started up building sewing machines in 1862 - precise match to filming year 1937/38. @: Opel mutates back to Mercedes. M-B 320 Cabriolet probably, various perspectives, filmed on overland roads or Autobahn as well, changing rapidly between settings. @: LHD Austin 7 repro, no crest on front. Either Dixi or BMW 3/15 hp, built before 1934. @: Fender mounted flag waving, the filming car passes a 1937 Cadillac Series 60 Sedan. Not sure whether the Caddy has a German license at all, plate seems to be bright letters on dark background - Austria? Watch passing car shape around camera position - the passing car is definitely not the.... @: ....two-tone Mercedes-Benz W29 type Cabriolet showing up here. This is a 500K or 540K model, one of the most powerful European cars of its time. If the speedometer shown somewhat earlier belongs to the car, it must be one of the weakest versions: it ends at 160 km/h (100 mph). Special Roadster speedos went up to 200 km/h (125 mph). Licence plate "IA-209162" indicates Berlin license, approaching homebase at @.
Funny how that happens, Jupp. Your comment probably went through, but as is the case, buried in some remarks about crocheting during the war. Anything to be found that has nothing to do with the subject at hand. As for the cars, they are fascinating, beautiful things. Not appreciated at the time as we love them now. German manufacture at its finest. What a shame the war intervened and they began making planes, guns and tanks.
Damals waren 120 km/h die reinste Raserei. Die Motoren dankten es den Fahrern nicht,auf den neuen Reichsautobahnen stundenlang mit Vollgas belastet zu werden. Kühlwasserpumpen versagten, Kopfdichtungen platzten, die Schmierung versagte.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NoKGu1-OglE.html Listen to this version of Jeepers, Creepers. Armstrong's version is unparalleled but this one is nice too. PS: there's something striking about the images of Berlin in the 30's: the streets were crowded, look at those views of Unter den Linden or the Ku-Damm. That's a BIG difference to today's Berlin: one doesn't see many people in the streets. Even on a working day, there's few people walking or in the café's terraces.
Tolle Platte mit einem schönen Video, passend zur Ferien- und Reisezeit. Schade nur, dass die Autobahnen heute nicht mehr so frei sind wie einst. Vielen Dank für dieses Wochenendhighlight!
Reiner Sikora Ach doch, das kommt darauf an, wann man unterwegs ist. Dafür haben heute mehr Leute das Vergnügen. Bloß mit IA 209162 können wir heute nicht mehr unterwegs sein :-(
Ich hatte das Glück beruflich mitten im Lockdown letztes Jahr einmal mit dem Auto quer durch Deutschland und zurück zu fahren- genau diese Musik wäre die Richtige dafür gewesen!
Gorgeous video apart from the wonderful music. See what I can recognize: Places: either a montage of contemporary Autobahn propaganda clips or ONE contemporary clip shot in different settings. 00:29: judged by indicated distances, starts probably close to Schleiz/Thueringen towards a piece of Reichsautobahn opened in Sep 1937. Following scenes suggest southward direction (Nuremberg - Munich). 02:00: refuels on tank stop Piding, direction Munich, on what is A8 Munich-Salzburg today, immediately next to Austrian border. Autobahn had been completed here in 1938. 02:32: passes Rohrdorf exit on said A8. Moving W->E, inverse direction to Piding stop before. 02:58: short impressions of Leipzig, Dresden, Breslau (Wroclaw), Stettin (Sczeczin), which had never been connected to Salzburg or each other by Autobahn 03:23 arrives in Berlin via Autobahn. More interesting: the cars.....
I wish I was you even being able to recognise landmarks like that. Have they changed much since then or did the war do damage? I'd give a few teeth to see for myself, but alas, not gonna happen.
Actually, Germany had already thrown itself into it. Those Autobahnen were built by Hitler to the double purpose of fostering economic recovery and facilitating heavy weaponry transportation across Germany in the case of a future war....
@Mike Frazier Well.....and why did those people have the chance of annihilating it? Ask Hitler and his bunch of bastards (with very few exceptions of sensible people like Albert Speer). He was the one responsible for destroying his own country. Well, not even his own....
@Mike Frazier ....oh, dear...until the ninth line of your heated answer I could just take your opinion as biased and obvious, but respectable. But the argument around the legitimacy of the current German gov't blasts all the hinges of reasonableness. Keep trying!
@Mike Frazier Speer was sensible enough to disobey Hitler's order to destroy what was left of Germany after the ordeal of a war led by the most mediocre cluster of people that one could ever think of, starting by Keitel and Göring. Had it not been for the military genius of Rommel, Guderian and others, that war had been lost even earlier.
@Mike Frazier ....btw, you surely know this joke, common among Austrians: "For the world Hitler is Austrian and Beethoven, German. For the Austrians it's the other way around". 🙃
Lots of American open army trucks with black soldiers on the Autobahn in 1955. We drove in an Opel over the Autobahn to Kitzbühel in Austria. On the Kitzbühel Hahnekamm by a Willys Jeep to the hotel; the driver was the fifteen years son of the hotel manager.
Auto club (road service etc) membership might've existed there as it has here in the States since early 20th century.. For instance, I think AAA is about a hundred years old.
If you could afford such Mercedes roadster for 25.000 Reichsmark (The price of large Villa next to Berlin Wannsee) you could afford a butler (or two) bringing you fuel to the centre of nowhere ;-)
@@zuutlmna But....but....then you'd have to search the countryside for a phone box to ring the auto club for help!! Mobile phones weren't even a gleam in granny's eye then.
@@petertaylor3600 Nothing new about that.. Many times when I was young, I'd have to find a pay phone or phone both to call a tow. In fact, to this day, I still like driving old beaters that barely make it down the road. And it's the main reason I carry an already outdated flip-phone.
@@zuutlmna How many times have I had to sit alone in a stalled car while my husband took a jerrycan to find a gas station to get us started again. Nobody owned a mobile or any communication, late at night and I was scared sh****ss. He used to like old beaters too. Probably some kind of challenge! LOL He's gone now and I'm probably lucky to be in one piece, after that. But, I was thinking about the length of autobahns and you wouldn't know which way to aim. Early mobiles, the brick sized ones, had a limited range and there'd be places you couldn't pick anything up, late at night.
Clarinet soloist is Ernst Höllerhagen, who sadly took his own life in 1956; the tenorsax is Eddie Brunner, who would take over from Stauffer after he had left for Mexico
Nice! The german autobahns were very advanced and very ahead of its time. No other country in the world had anything like it, in those days. And 140 km/h already in 1939!
That kind of cool jazz was the thing then. Think of Glenn Miller in the US. German bands and orchestras took a lot of beating though. I love it! (Bradley Kennedy)
My father had an implacable hatred of jazz. I pointed out that as Uncle Adolf and the Doktor tolerated it, all could be not bad. However, a question: is the Korting of your radio-gramophone the same Korting that provided our ship's engines?
Hey Amerikaner! Took us 15 years after this gorgeous Autobahn footage was filmed to get anything close (aka the New Jersey Turnpike). Interesting 'quick bending' sax technique on the triplet-ing notes. Nothing like a Magnetophon master - another thing 'borrowed' from the Germans.
tolles Auto, hübsche Beifahrerin, aber dieSpitze ist Teddy! Danke, auch wenn ich immer viel zu spät komme.BITTE WIEDER NEUE TITEL einstellen! Danke für Ihre Mühe mit den immer ausgezeichneten Songs, aber ebenso für die Bilder oder Filme!
Woher kommen die Fahraufnahmen (auch in anderen Videos)? Da sehr viele Sterne zu sehen sind, tippe ich auf Werbefilme von Daimler-Benz. Ich sähe davon gerne mehr, haben Sie einen Link zur Quelle?
@@petertaylor3600 I love the rendition of this beautiful tune, by a German orchestra. There were many excellent jazz orchestras there at the time, but Teddy Stauffer's is one that I like much!
Ja eben. Sieht man sich die wunderbaren Filme wie Münchhausen oder Sherlock Holmes oder Gold an (alle mit Albers)an, und hört man diese Musik..... gekonnt hat man's, und wie. Gut und gern wär's auch meine Zeit, hätte nichts dagegen. Man versteht nicht, wie man dann in Gesamtheit so hat überschnappen können. Leider täuschen die zugegeben sehr ansprechenden Bilder und Musik wohl über was hinweg.... .
@@peterundo8380 Klasse Zeit, die uns heute so madig gemacht wird. Möglicherweise, war es doch ganz anders, als man uns erzählt? Wer weiß? Mein Opa in den 60ern..... aber lassen wir das. Es ist verboten!
@@andreasmaier5361 Es ist nicht verboten, darüber zu reden, da sind Sie falsch. Vielleicht hat man Ihnen nichts vom Krieg erzählt, den es da auch noch gab. Mein Opa war dabei und hat mir Dinge erzählt, die nicht nur schön und heldenhaft waren. Falls Sie damals Jude gewesen wären, wärs auch nicht so klasse gewesen.
@@tubi333 wissen Sie.... der Holocaust steht außerhalt jedweder Frage! Aber ich finde, den ganzen braunen Blöddeppen muß ENDLICH mal unmißverständlich belegen, wie das ganz funktioniert hat. Fakten. Bumm, bumm, bumm! Und dann halten die endlich die braune Schnauze. Aber das geschieht leider nicht. Und deswegen schmort diese ganze Holocaust-Verweigerung immer so dahin. Und dann kommt so eine Oma, wie die Haverbeck auch noch daher mit irgenwelchen Behauptungen. Vollkommen haltlos. Vollkommen irre, die Alte. ABER.... statt die Alte zu widerlegen. Nix passiert. Das ist das Schlimme. Wir haben doch alle Beweise! Legt sie doch einfach endlich mal diesen Irren vor!
