Tonight at 7pm CT, a one hour program on the German Autobahn. I think it's been on before. If I remember correctly, it covers the design, construction, and some cars driving at speed.

Well, the autobahn was sometimes used as a airplane runway with airplanes hidden in sourrounding forests.
In fact, there are still segments existing which obviously are runways and which were constructed during the cold war. On my way between Zurich and Stuttgart I pass such a segment.

I missed the show last night, but caught it once before. The RUF sequences are incredible. As for use for the military, I can't remember what the show says, maybe somebody who watched it can help on that question. But I thought they said Hitler constructed the Autobahn as a demonstration of German engineering prowess(?). Can anybody help on that question?
