There were/are Autobahns that can be used as runways in a war situation (or so I have been told) when the regular airfields would have been a primary target.
Actually a lot of pilots and mechanics liked the 104 and from what I hear it was even more reliable than the French Mirage (again that's just hear saying when I talked to some former 104 ground crews and I'm too lazy to look it up now

). And be honest, it's a cool looking bird!
