Treni - Germania: libri illustrati di storia e guide

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

Uno studio completo delle ferrovie prussiane/tedesche nel periodo precedente la guerra. Uomini, binari, linee, ingegneri, vagoni e stazioni hanno tutti svolto un ruolo cruciale nelle guerre di unificazione tedesche del 1864-1871, negli anni tra le due guerre e nella catastrofe finale che rovesciò molte corone, troni e stati, il tutto raccontato da una prospettiva ferroviaria.

Vengono esplorate le saghe ferroviarie, in quanto linee ferroviarie si sono schierate sia a favore che contro il Secondo Reich: Berlino-Baghdad, Transiberiana, Hejaz, africana, italiana, americana e altre ancora.
Vengono inoltre descritti nel dettaglio alcuni treni storici di rilievo, come quelli del Kaiser Guglielmo II, dello Zar Nicola II, i treni ospedalieri, le diverse tipologie di scartamento, i cannoni ferroviari, i treni blindati, il famigerato "treno sigillato" di Lenin attraverso la Germania fino alla Russia e altro ancora.

Vengono inoltre descritti gli uomini famosi che fecero dell'addestramento uno strumento efficace in tempo di guerra: il banchiere Bleichroder, il soldato von Moltke, gli incursori Lawrence d'Arabia, Bülow e Hindenburg, e come il vagone ristorante del maresciallo Foch divenne il punto focale della fase finale della Prima Guerra Mondiale.

Dalle prime corse ferroviarie passeggeri tedesche alla guerra civile russa, questo libro racconta l'epica storia delle ferrovie come strumento militare. Scritto e documentato da un importante storico militare, è splendidamente illustrato con numerose immagini rare e inedite.

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.

In this classic, Piekałkiewicz guides the reader through this period - with many pictures that document everyday life on the railway line during the war. A book for railway enthusiasts as well as military historians.

Eisenbahn-Baukompanien - an der Westfront im Ersten Weltkrieg

In his book "Die Wiederherstellung der Eisenbahnen auf dem westlichen Kriegsschauplatz" (The Restoration of Railways in the Western Theater of War), Wilhelm Kretzschmann dealt extensively with the work of the railway construction companies in World War I.
These specialized pioneer units were used, among other things, to restore the railway lines.

Gabriel Habermann, freelance journalist and photo reporter, is now building on the original volume by Mr. Kretzschmann, which was published in 1922 and is now extremely rare.
The texts have been supplemented by images from the author's extensive archive. An interesting new work on the First World War!

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.
