The Cold War era revealed a surprising aspect of Germany's infrastructure. Designed to serve both civilian and military needs, highways, bridges, train stations, and ports were essentially dual-use facilities. This integration of military and civilian life, also reflected in mandatory conscription, allowed Germany to rapidly transition into a war footing if needed. The strategic infrastructure, built during a time of heightened tensions, was meant to be easily converted for military use. This dual-purpose design allowed Germany to maintain a delicate balance between peace and war readiness. The existence of such infrastructure raises questions about Germany's current military preparedness and its role in the region, particularly amidst ongoing tensions with Russia.
