This tourist map, entitled Germany. The beautiful travel country (Germany: The Beautiful Country for Travelling) was published in 1936 by German Federal Railways Central Office for Passenger Transport, a German company created to promote rail tourism.
Although produced by a German company, the publication is in English in an attempt to attract international tourism. The map is part of Nazi Germany's propaganda strategies associated with tourism and sport, through which it sought to whitewash and normalise the regime.
