Trenes - Alemania: libros - historia

Reich Rails: Royal Prussia, Imperial Germany And The First World War 1825-1918

Un estudio exhaustivo de los ferrocarriles prusianos/alemanes previos a la guerra. Hombres, raíles, líneas, ingenieros, vagones y estaciones desempeñaron un papel crucial en las Guerras de Unificación de Alemania entre 1864 y 1871, el período de entreguerras y la catástrofe final que derrocó a numerosas coronas, tronos y estados, todo ello narrado desde la perspectiva ferroviaria.

Se exploran las sagas ferroviarias como líneas que se alinearon tanto a favor como en contra del Segundo Reich: Berlín-Bagdad, Transiberiano, Hiyaz, Africano, Italiano, Americano y más.
También se detallan trenes históricos individuales notables, como los del káiser Guillermo II, el zar Nicolás II, los trenes hospitalarios, los diferentes anchos de vía, los cañones ferroviarios, los trenes blindados, el tristemente célebre "tren sellado" de Lenin que atravesó Alemania hasta Rusia y mucho más.

También se describen los hombres famosos que convirtieron el "entrenamiento" en una herramienta eficaz durante la guerra: el banquero Bleichroder, el soldado von Moltke, los asaltantes Lawrence de Arabia, Bülow y Hindenburg, y cómo el vagón restaurante del mariscal Foch se convirtió en el punto central del desenlace final de la Primera Guerra Mundial.

Desde el primer servicio de pasajeros alemán hasta la Guerra Civil Rusa, este libro narra la historia épica del ferrocarril como fuerza militar. Escrito e investigado por un destacado historiador militar. Magníficamente ilustrado con numerosas fotografías inéditas y poco comunes.

Die Deutsche Reichsbahn im Zweiten Weltkrieg

The Second World War presented the German Reichsbahn with the greatest challenge in its history. Year after year, enormous transport volumes were demanded - and almost always delivered. Hundreds of thousands of railway workers in blue and field-grey uniforms toiled under sometimes unimaginable conditions to keep the wheels rolling. But their achievements are hardly chronicled.

Kulturgeschichte der Deutschen Reichsbahn

Hardly any other era in German railway history enjoys such a legendary reputation as the Reichsbahn era. It was founded in 1920 as a joint railway administration of the German state railways. In 1924 this administration became the "Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft" before being placed "under the sovereignty of the Reich" again by Hitler in 1937.

Even the end of the Third Reich could not harm it, because the Reichsbahn survived forty years of the GDR and was even able to experience reunification.
In this book, first published in 1994, the times of the Reichsbahn are brought back to life in over 250 illustrations.

Reichsbahn hinter der Ostfront

Walter Hollnagel's qualities as a (railway) photographer require no further explanation. His most impressive photographs were taken during the Second World War as a photo reporter for the Reich Ministry of Transport.
In 1943, he made three trips to the Eastern Front, to the Ukraine and to the Crimea in the Black Sea. There, with his Leica, he documented the work of the blue and field-gray uniformed railway workers and captured unique scenes of the country and its people.

The documentary value of the images presented in this EK illustrated book is of outstanding importance almost seven decades after the end of the Second World War. Only a few photographers were able to capture the German Reichsbahn behind the Eastern Front in such atmospheric scenes.

Trümmerbahnen

After the Second World War ended in Europe on May 8, 1945, most of Germany's major cities lay in ruins. To clear away the huge piles of rubble, small and large field railway networks were built in many German cities, which became known as "Trümmerbahnen" (rubble railways).

In his book, Klaus Scherff describes the tasks, organization, technology and operation of these narrow-gauge reconstruction aids. He pays particular attention to the rubble railways in Berlin, Dresden, Frankfurt/M., Hamburg, Hanover, Karlsruhe, Leipzig, Lübeck, Mannheim, Munich, Pforzheim and Stuttgart.
