<h4>Highway of Leisure</h4>
Subject
The topic of the resource
The <em>Reichsautobahn</em> was conceived as much more than an artery of movement: although intended for the exclusive use of the automobiles, its character and the space it created was to embody everything that one could find on the regular road - from social, economic, cultural or recreational activities. Or what is even more important, all the functions that one's Heimat would offer.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The intense dynamic between the engineers and the “landscape advocates” involved in the <em>Reichsautobahn design </em> is best illustrated in the debate on how the highways should be laid upon landscape. The engineers, following the logic of the railway, opted for laying the highway as a straight line, intermitted with a minimal number of short curves, irrespective of the vistas, landscape features or of the experience of the environment that the road creates. </p>
<p>On the other side, the “landscape advocates” had a different vision, more in tune with the environmentalist and <em>Heimatschutz </em>discourse. They proposed to lead the highway as a constant sinuous curve that would be defined precisely by the vistas and the landscape features, not always taking the shortest, safest, or the most economically sound route. The <em>straight</em> versus the <em>sinuous</em> became the subject of heated debates, with the <em>sinuous</em> winning in the end, at least on paper and in Reich’s intense propaganda of the project.<a title="" name="_ftnref2" href="#_ftn2"><br /></a></p>

<h4>The Arteries of the Reich</h4>
Description
An account of the resource
Planned at a construction pace of a thousand kilometers per year, the <em>Reichsautobahn</em>—or <em>Straßen Adolf Hitlers</em>—was to crisscross all of the Reich’s territory. Combined with intense motorization—exemplified in the concept of the <em>Volkswagen</em>, the national car—the new arteries of the Nazi state would transform the German society into a “Motorized <em>Volksgemeinschaft</em>.” The character of the new Reichsautobahn was seemingly distinct from that of the regular road. Regular roads were laid as reinforced lines of the landscape that would favor not only the circulation of several different kind of human or animal powered devices—as such forming a democratic realm of circulation—but also performed as sites of social, cultural, economic, and even recreational activities. <em>Autobahn</em>, on the other hand was seemingly only an conduit of high-speed locomotion. However, the <em>Reichsautobahn</em> was, quite conversely, a space that married all the modern attributes of speed an connectivity with the features of traditional roads: it was by itself a space of social, cultural, economic and recreational activities.

Description
An account of the resource
Students of the 7th and 8th grades in the Overseas Schools in Abadan in the basketball. This mode of segregated [local vs. foreigners] schools became the accepted norm of schooling in the 'company towns'. Like their parents who were segregated, children too are kept separate from the locals. In addition to schooling, activities such 'scouts', basketball, swimming pools, and even a church was implanted in Abadan, and other 'company towns.'
