Steam Locomotives II: The German Railway 1919-1939 (Widescreen)

During the years following World War I, the railway played a very important part in the newly democratic Germany. The railway was privatized and modernized as quickly as possible and rapidly expanded after having been nearly completely annihilated during the war. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the railway was harnessed to serve their purposes and to spread terror under Hitler?s dictatorship. It played a decisive role in the War of Extermination in Eastern Europe and in the deportation of millions of people to concentration camps. "Steam Locomotives II" provides a detailed history of that era with a profusion of historical facts, documents, pictures, and interviews with leading historians.
