Roads Built for Nozi Invosions

The vast network of military su-
perhighways completed by the Nazis
just before they plunged Europe
into war may help to speed Ameri-
can armor thrusts deep into the
heart of Germany.
This was indicated Saturday
when the first elements to break
through the Siegfried Line rolled out
on an 80-mile- speedway
leading the remaining 80 miles to
Cologne and the Rhine.
Similar speedways connect all Sec
tions of Germany, by-paSsing the
big cities, crossing rivers and rail-
ways on sturdy bridges of steel and
concrete along excellent grades from
which sharp curves have been elm
mated.
The "autobahnen" system was
constructed at the cost of millions
of marks and manhours between
1888. and 1899, now it may well prove
an ironic boomerang to Hitler as
