FWIW, I've heard similar things about a stretch of highway outside of
Frankfurt.

The U.S. Army used the autobahn as as airports. There's a great photo
of a flock of L-4s lined up on the verge. Evidently when the "airport"
was in operation they simply closed that lane and put all the traffic
on the other one. Americans didn't have much experience with divided
highways in 1945.
