Adolf Hitler is pictured at the groundbreaking ceremony initiating the construction of the Reichsautobahn at Walserberg in Austria shortly after its annexation to the German Reich, on 7 April 1938. The Nazi Propaganda! on the back of the image reads: "The Führer turns the first sod for the first Autobahn of Austria at Walser Berg near Salzburg, April 1938. The Führer turns the first sod."
