Naming for THERAPOL is mystery but it says
..... good for bacterial disease like tonsillitis, tympanitis, acne, facial furuncle, wound suppuration, gonorrhea and periodontitis

The Autobahn- a primarily military road but a boon to business and industry in Germany.

How do you get military supplies from cities to other distant cities? Mainly trucks-especially in those days.

Though historians pay little attention to this incident,
in the late November 1941, the US 4th Marines withdrew from Shanghai, China orderly.
This US's intention was not necessarily clear but was generally thought as the late settlement of the aftermath of the Boxer Rebellion back in 1901. Realistic issue for the people in Shanghai, however, was that they were to lose the invincible dollars paid by the marines.

Trains are restricted to running on tracks that may be destroyed. Unlike motor vehicles, they can't cut across country when necessary. Beware of Wikipedia, they are just of internet folks with another opinion.

The best road is the railroad.
