great footage.
interesting to see that entrance to the new flat nordkurve at 15:40, must have been changed again in late the 70s or early 80s.

Not sure if I posted this before...The building of the banking and the demolition of the Sudkurve were not the only two changes made in the late 30s. It seems that in several places there were kinks in the middle of the straight where the Autobahn went around trees or buildings. Looking at the later aerial maps it seems these were all removed so the road could be straightened:
