WHY? Other than being old, there is absolutely nothing remarkable about it. Lots of stuff built by Stalin and the Soviet Union generally is still around. Stalin is either the worst or second worst (behind Mao) guy of the 20 century. Mao is still on China's money. The party he took power with is still the government in China. Kim Il-Sung's subways are still in use and probably with the same cars. Germany has much less physical history because it was destroyed during the war.

@jimhoade9265 - The Germans made some stout locomotives during WWII for sure. However, their best paled by comparison to the mighty Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy" locomotive. It had 16, 5 foot 8 inch diameter drive wheels, was over 100 feet long, weighed 1,200,000 pounds and had a top speed of eighty MPH! It had more power than 2 standard locomotives of its time. They were built by ALCO (American Locomotive Company) plant in Schenectady, NY. Check KZread for some great videos of the only one of 25 built that is still in operation. It has over 1,000,000 miles on it!
Dr Felton makes WWII history much more interesting.
As a Locomotive Driver for the DB myself, it is realy interesting to see what happend to these Traincars. Thank you for keeping the history alive to every little part that contributed to it!
The shootage accompanying the narration is incredible, would have thought that even the German state with full secret access to war archives could not have produced as relevant video. I don't know how you access them and that alone would be worth an entire video.

Hans Joachim Marseilles The Yellow14 / ME109 Hands down undeniably the best to ever pilot a fighter. He is so extremely good he reminds me of Babe Ruth. He was an anomaly. He would ask his crewchief not to load his wing canons with ammo so to keep his roll rate quick. He always came back with most of his ammo anyway. Hed still get 1-5 kills..... He once flew over a British airfield and dropped hand written directions to a pilot hed just shot down. He was a natural mastet of deflection shooting. Its like he was born with a calculator in his head. Hed just tap his trigger and plsnes would fall. Hed always try to spare the enemy pilot, jusy shoot the plane up so theyll parachute out... this is mostly what happened. Once he shot a pilot and the pilot ended up in pow hospital and Joachim went everyday to check on him. This Nazi, this hero of the riech, was best friends with a black guy....in Nazi Germany....at a party with Hitler there Hsns kept playing American Jazz records. "Black music" with Hitler there. Dr.Mark i could go on for hours about the crazy anomaly of Hans Joachim Marseilles so i know you could really dive in and document this guy. If there were ever an honorable Nazi it was Joachim..

Mark.Thanks for providing my Sunday night entertainment!
I have one of Goering’s Marklin toy trains that was purchased quite by accident
Another well done video. Eric Clapton rode in one of the cars.
An armored Pullman car used by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the "Roald Amundsen" is on display at a museum in Scottsdale, Arizona in the United States. The car has everything required for the passengers to travel in comfort and security.

@BELCAN57: If I am not mistaken, Roosevelt did like to be on Ship´s as he was with the Navy. But as a President he couldn´t be so much Time away from Duty, so he decided to go with the Train as much as possible, he described it as the 2nd best Solution of Travel Feeling to a Navy Ship. In the Movies " Wind of War" with Robert Mitchum is a Scene based on that.....
Visit the Netherlands sometimes. In the north they have the STAR museum railway which also operates a WWII German locomotive on a 20 km museum track. You can buy tickets and it operates on a schedule.
Always fun and educational to watch your videos!!! Thanks for another great one!

Goering’s Train. Plush duty if you could get it.
Beautiful craftsmanship on show on these wonderful trains 👍
This is incredible ! - as usual when it comes from Mark Felton. Loving It.
Again, Dr Felton, you've astonished me with your research, fascinating 👏
Viele Dank Mark. Sehr interessant, wie immer. Greetings from SSW, 🇿🇦
I wonder how the staff and guards assigned to these trains fared in the last months of the war
Another interesting video, thanks Dr. Felton
Thanks Mark, always intriguing & just - excellent !
I find it amazing that iconic heads-of-state from the Nazi’s enemies got shuttled around on these deeply personal rolling symbols of the senior Nazi leaders. Did anyone ask QEII if Her Majesty would enjoy a a bath in Goering’s bathtub while en route to their destination? Quite the amusing scenario. Thanks, Dr. Felton!

It is possible they were grownups and they realized the world did not vanish in a puff on May 8th 1945 and started firm a blank slate? They knew that much of the German infrastructure, including airports, train stations, Autobahns and so on was ck stricter during Nazi time. I personally slept in Hitler’s room during one of my business trips to Bonn. And imagine, I am still breathing!
Thanks Mark, great post.
Some German choo choo's were definitely 5 star accomodations ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐while others were given only one star.✡️

I always have a Star of David decal on my trucks, probably why I’ve been keyed 4 times.
Mark, might you be interested in making a video on Erich Hartmann, the Luftwaffe ace with 352 air-to-air victories over 1400 combat missions? I'd love to learn more about him from you. Thanks.
I’ve wondered how many works of art are still hidden to eventually be found decades later, or if ever?

Yep same here , but I think it would have all gone now into private collections and probably only to be sold on to private collectors .
Eric Clapton hired Goering's carriage to record "Mein Fuhrer, You Look Wunderbar Tonight".
Nothing like spending a little time on Mothers day learning about Hermann Goring's Train, Thanx Mr Felton.

The original video about Nazi trains mentioned that Goering was a huge railway enthusiast, and Carinhall had a 4,000 square foot model train setup that he loved to show to guests.
Goering was a narcissistic monster., but he could put a uniform together!

Another great video, Dr. Felton. It would be great to see a production about Atelier Thorak, one of the lesser-known surviving works of Albert Speer.
Thanks for another great idea for a video, Dr Felton. Visiting the Kreigsloks in Bosnia was great.
I have often wondered what happened to his huge Marklin model train layout he had in his loft at Karinhall. Will there be a video about this in the future?

Only the finest art,residences,uniforms,and morphine for Goering. I understand the need for an armored command train, but the opulence that he insisted upon is something that I find gross. It seems to have been a running theme amongst the Nazis. "We deserve it, so you pay for it." A theme that's alive and well to this day. Thanks for showing these relics Dr. Felton, well done. Cheers from the States.

Their leaders insistence on luxury is just one of many layers of a disgusting onion that should make all eyes water. Ha! I made it across the bridge.
Absolutely fascinating Mark, thank you. There is some description of Hitler’s train in the autobiography of his secretary Traudl Junge
Thanks, Mark. Your videos and you “walk on water.” In my sphere, this means one has leave at any time to show up, announced or not. Cheers.
Hermann Goring A fancy chap, never boring He loved his art, his pretties And many cheap thrills But in the end he took his pills
