Some outstanding wartime photos

Post by Philipp Gross »

All conveniently placed here:

http://eisenbahnstiftung.de/bildergaler ... im%20Krieg

Most of it has its focus on German trains during WW2, but there are other interesting subjects as well. It's all in German, but most of it should be easy to understand. I can provide translations if needed :)

There's also a WW1 gallery: http://eisenbahnstiftung.de/bildergaler ... 0Weltkrieg

The interwar gallery might be interesting too.

It's an awesome shot isn't it? :D I believe it's been modelled before.

The caption to this photo states that this happened during a bombing raid in the autumn of 1944...it was still standing like this in April 45 :shock:

In general the railway infrastructure was quickly rebuilt. There are some haunting photos of pristine tracks in an empty Berlin with everything around them in ruins, taken just before the final battle...
