Bildbeschreibung u. als "Foto Opel" gekennzeichnet. - Gezeigt werden u.a.: Produktionshallen mit Maschinenstraßen, Aufbauten von Lastwagen, Vielspindelbohrmaschinen, Motorenmontageband, Maschinenhalle, Motoren, Firmen-Kraftwerk etc. - 1935 errichtete die Adam Opel AG in Brandenburg (Havel) ein neues Werk zur Massenproduktion des Opel Blitz, eng abgestimmt mit NS-Regierung und Wehrmacht, um die militärische Versorgung sicherzustellen. Der Standort am Silokanal bot gute Verkehrsverbindungen, und das Werk wurde in nur 190 Tagen fertiggestellt. Architektonisch verband es Bauhaus-Elemente mit Monumentalstil. Die Produktion lief schnell an und erreichte bis zu 120 Fahrzeuge täglich. Versuche, wirtschaftlich unabhängig zu bleiben und auch für den Export zu produzieren, scheiterten im Krieg: Ab 1944 gingen die Fahrzeuge fast ausschließlich an die Wehrmacht. Nach einem Luftangriff wurde das Werk im August 1944 stillgelegt. Nach Kriegsende wurden die Anlagen demontiert und in die Sowjetunion gebracht. - Ecken minimal bestoßen, vereinzelt gering ausgesilbert, insg. wohlerhalten.

Loose. - Verso of each with a typographical image description and marked "Photo Opel". - Shown are, among other things: production halls with machine lines, truck bodies, multi-spindle drilling machines, engine assembly line, machine hall, engines, company power plant, etc. - In 1935, Adam Opel AG built a new plant in Brandenburg an der Havel for the mass production of the Opel Blitz, in close coordination with the Nazi government and the Wehrmacht to ensure military supplies. The location on the Silo Canal offered good transport connections, and the plant was completed in just 190 days. Architecturally, it combined Bauhaus elements with a monumental style. Production started quickly and reached up to 120 vehicles per day. Attempts to remain economically independent and produce for export failed during the war: From 1944 onward, the vehicles went almost exclusively to the Wehrmacht. Following an air raid, the factory was shut down in August 1944. After the war, the equipment was dismantled and transported to the Soviet Union. - Corners minimally bumped, some minor silvering in places, overall well preserved.
