..."journey through Austria, Hungary, Romania, the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Netherlands and finally back to Germany!"...

Yeah, that's what they did in the 1940's, too.

dick, that's what I was thinking too. Hope that this was sturdy. The worst thing would be to build it, move it then drop it right at the last mile breaking it.

I'm very disappointed with the Germans of the 21st century...

75 years ago, when presented with this problem... The world would have been witness to the "Super lifting Zeppelin"... or some such device...

Going around the long way... for shame!

Of course, in China today... they'd probably wonder why the German authorities didn't just destroy any house that was in the way.
