Yes, Hitler built the autobahn. This was the <br />inspiration for Ikes interstate hwy system. <br />When Ike saw the autobahn, it reminded him of <br />when he was on manuvers in Texas about 1917. <br />It took them, I think, about 20 days to go 10 miles. When he was elected President, he decided <br />the country needed, in case of national emergency, <br />a way to move the milatary quickly from their base, to whare they were needed. He also wanted <br />to expidite interstate commerce by moving large trucks from the small 2 lane roads, to a limited access system. Thus in 1956 he signed into law whats known as The Eisenhower Interstate Highway <br />Act. <br />
