Is it true most of the early autobahns were built by the Nazis ?


Answer
Yes, the first Autobahns were built during Hitler's time(search for Fritz Todt on the internet) although plans for them existed previously.

I don't know all of the buildings and monuments that remain but I'll tell u what I know and/or seen in my travels in Europe :
- in Berlin there's Goering's former ministery building (now I think it's the finance ministery building) and you can't miss it, it's huge and in the style of the time ,on Wilhelmstrasse right by the Berlin Wall.
- again in Berlin there's the Olympic Stadium built for the Summer Olympic Games in 1936
- also in Berlin you can actually visit part of what I think was a fascinating structure, the Flakturme(Flak tower) at Humboldthein (half of it remains ,mostly buried under a hill of rubble that is now part of a park because the french couldn't destroy all of it)
- there are some more buildings used/built around that time, I randomly saw one other but I don't remember its name now. Oh and I don't know if the old airport is still standing.
- in Nuremberg you can visit the area where they held the party rallies . There are some stuff still standing ,like the unfinished Congress Hall and the Zeppelinfeld (both planned and built by Albert Speer). There's also a power station built specifically for that and where you have a Burger King now and on one side of the building you can see the place where a swastika eagle was on the wall.
- in Hamburg there's also a Flak tower still standing
- in Auschwitz you can visit Auschwitz I and II(Birkenau)
- in Dachau u can see what remains of that concentration camp
- another concentration camp is near Berlin.
- in Heidelberg there are ruins of a sort of summer theatre thing also designed by Speer
- in Berchtesgaden the train station is also from Nazi time ,there's even a sign on a door from that time.
- also in Berchtesgaden area you can go to Obersalzberg where the Berghof was (now only part of a wall remains) and where you can see many remains if you know where to look, ruins of the bunker system (especially under the Zum Turken hotel, that one is a great WWII relic to visit and not even half as touristy as the one at the Documentation center).
- from Obersalzberg one can go to Eagle's Nest/Kehlsteinhaus, built by Bormann for Hitler's 50th bday and sporting a very cool elevator planned by Speer also as a gift. There there's also a fireplace gift from Mussolini.
- near Berchtesgaden(I think Bad Reichenhall or Bischofswiesen) there's a building that used to be used as a sort of Chancellery and you can still see the place where the big eagle was placed.
there are probably more stuff that I forget about or don't know. There might be some remains of the Atlantic Wall but I don't know for sure.

What are some summer camps near me?

So I've been thinking of going to a camp this year, one where you stay there for like 2 weeks or something. I've never gone to camp, which is why I'm looking so early so I know what I'm getting into. Is there any good summer camps for teens ( im 14 ) that involve things like hiking, crafts, or anything like that. I don't care about rock climbing or swimming ( fear of heights and deep water ). Is there any camps near Jamestown New York? ( I don't live there btw) no more than an hour drive though. Another location could be Hamburg New York too. Any good camps near those two places?


Answer
Adventure Camp.
