Hitler’s Personal Train: The Führersonderzug
30,693It 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.
