That was one of the major reasons Hitler built the Autobahn in the first place.. Good thing they are made of a few feet of concrete..

Also to use as runways.

The same reason Eisenhower built the US freeway system.. ;)
Remember, all the coolest, most useful and greatest inventions come from the unlimited budget and thinking of military men... ;)

I thought the autobahns were Fritz Todt's idea to get Germany out of the depression?
In any case, freeways serve secondary purposes as emergency runways, which is why there are always freeways leading to airports.

Most roads in Europe are made to handle any type of military convoy under NATO regulations. Primarily because of the Cold War era and being able to move troops across the country.

A break down of specifics about the autobahns made of concrete from some US officials doing a visit/study years ago.
