Mark,
>>Now when it comes to railroads the French were unique. Before laying one tie or rail or spike the French first planned their railroad in every detail. Paris was used as the “Hub” and all tracks had to run from north, south, east or west through Paris. Paris was like the hub of a wheel if you will. Many people did not understand how Nazi Germany was able to get to Paris so fast when it attacked. The Germans loaded tanks and men on French trains from eastern France and made straight for Paris.

Funny how they gripe about our capital punishment and they developed the guillotine. <g>
