U-Boat And Nazi Fleet Perils Hasten Pan-American Road
Wide World News reports that Nazi submarines in the Caribbean and German battleships through the English Channel have pushed the Pan American Highway as vital for defense. The road would secure raw materials, aid Panama defense, and maintain links if sea routes are threatened, with 11,300 miles planned and an estimated cost of 80 million dollars. Engineers have begun work in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, aiming to connect from Alaska to South America and bolster regional trade and military logistics.
