The Second World War made the greatest demands on the German Reichsbahn (national railway). Year after year, great quantities of war materiel were transported - and almost always delivered. At times the trains rolled over nearly the entire continent of Europe. This heavily illustrated book documents the everyday life along the German rail lines on many war fronts. This is the first book of its kind in English for both the railroad fan as well as the military historian.

The German National Railway in World War II,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The German National Railway in World War II (Hardcover)
I have owned the German text version of this book for many years. I was glad to see the English version come out. It is not a history of the DR or a all inclusive book about the DR. If you want a detailed history you would want to read "The Most Valuable Asset of the Reich: A History of the German National Railway Volume 2, 1933-1945" as that book is very detailed about the DR history in WW2.
The German National Railway in World War II is a great book showing the everyday people who worked and used the DR. There are many great photos covering a wide range of subjects dealing with war time railroading. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: The German National Railway in World War II (Hardcover)
When I bought this book I expected to see many pictures of tanks on flat cars, for example panzers IV and panthers and king tigers over freight cars with four or six axles, but for my disappoinmet this books is more focused on the partisan's actions, than in the railroad as a useful tool of military transportation. Finally I must say the quality of paper is very good.
