Hitler’s Personal Train: The Führersonderzug
It was Hitler’s military headquarters on wheels. His mobile steel reinforced refuge. His moving apartment with his own personal servants, bodyguards, communications centre, with all necessities on board. Watch how this steel behemoth appeared during World War II, learn of its functions in keeping the Führer on track with his strategies and plans, as well as marvel at the train’s defences against any possible assault. It was no wonder the Allies never had a clear opportunity to attack the Führersonderzug, as its movements and designs were always covered and wrapped together in thick layers of secrecy.

My grandpa used to live in a small village in germany during ww2 as a kid (he was 8 years old when the war ended) and this train was once parked in a tunnel nearby, while Hitler was visiting one of his headquarters. My grandpa and his friends tried to have a look at it but were send away by some soldiers. Unfortunately the allies found out about the trains location and started attacking the village because of it.

Reminds me of a story I read about a trip he made to the eastern front. Coincidently, at one of the stops, a train carrying wounded soldiers from the front had stopped as well, heading west. Instead of allowing the soldiers to see their Fuhrer who they had given so much, Hitler closed the windows of his train, as if he refused to see for himself what the war was costing his own countrymen.

The Führersonderzug was Adolf Hitler's personal train. It was named Führersonderzug "Amerika" in 1940, and in January 1943, it was renamed the Führersonderzug "Brandenburg". The train served as a headquarters until the Balkans Campaign. Afterwards, the train was not used as Führer Headquarters, however, Hitler continued to travel on it throughout the war between Berlin, Berchtesgaden, the Wolfsschanze and his other military headquarters.

Very nice train art
How is this the first time I'm ever hearing of Hitler constantly hanging out in a super train?
Woah, what? I didn't know Hitler had a personal train HQ...

@@thesenate9564 True, but questionable. All we can really do is theorize what happened to Hitler, to this day nobody knows if he really died. People say in his final moments he took a suicide pill with his lover, and was bombed to smithereens in his final bunker, but nobody ever confirmed his corpse? That's pretty shady if you ask me! Either way, I could care less of the fate of history's most evil man, but then again, him and Josef Mengele go hand and hand on who's more evil.

I’m schizin’ out, because I googled this train out of sheer, random curiosity literally yesterday after it was mentioned in another video
That was a Great train documentary, Could you by any chance do the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway Please.
The first gas powered train, Hitler personally rated the train a solid nein out of eleven

Just wondering, what happened to the old narrator? I found his voice pretty great.

This is a very interesting video and probably many do not even know about the subject matter?
Very good job fellows!! Congratulations. Well done indeed!!!
Let me screen shot before thumbnail chage
This needs to be a movie
People: "I like how you censored the flags but had the Windmill of Friendship on the train." Swastika: *was a religious symbol in Buddhism and Hinduism.*
That’s cool
I've studied Third Reich history for years and don’t know how so many people claim to have seen an NSDAP flag with the Balkenkreuz rather than the Hakenkreuz in the center circle. Too many gamers, not enough scholars these days I guess.
The only train we have in Finland is a thing called "suklaajuna". It can be hard to get on but you cant get off, until you get off.
Someone worked hard on the graphics for this. Simple, but almost 9 minutes of footage with so many scenes every few seconds must have been brutal.
