1945 - Bahnfahrten im zerstörten Berlin

Expert author Bernd Kuhlmann vividly reports on railway traffic in war-torn Berlin immediately after the capitulation on May 8/9, 1945. He begins with a retrospective on the wartime period, describing the changes in rail transport in the Reich capital since the onset of air raids in 1940, and then provides a detailed account of how the railway resumed operations in the occupied city after the end of the war in 1945. Historical black-and-white photographs and contemporary timetables, depicted in their original form, illustrate the book, which recalls a dramatic chapter in transportation history.
