German armoured trains

Discussions on the vehicles used by the Axis forces.
Long-time forum member Ron Klages (1939 - 2007) generously shared his knowledge and the results of his impressive research with the forum, and this section has therefore been renamed in his honour.

German armoured trains

Postby Sturm78 on 16 Nov 2009 20:36

Hi all,

I propose a new section about german armoured trains of World War II. Photos and information.
Also will be welcome the pictures and information about captured rail equipment.
I'll start with these three images:

Image 1: special railwagon with two 2cm Flakvierling mounts for escort Amerika Hitler train. It is not an armored railroad car but I found it interesting
Image 2: captured armoured train. probably soviet equipment
Image 3: german armoured train with two flat armoured railcars for Somua S-35 tanks. Perhaps train Nº28. It's hard to say

Images from Ebay
Regards Sturm78

Thank you very much for your image, Sander.
