Hitler’s Personal Train: The Führersonderzug
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- It was Hitler’s military headquarters on wheels. His mobile steel reinforced refuge. His moving apartment with his own personal servants, bodyguards, communications centre, with all necessities on board. Watch how this steel behemoth appeared during World War II, learn of its functions in keeping the Führer on track with his strategies and plans, as well as marvel at the train’s defences against any possible assault. It was no wonder the Allies never had a clear opportunity to attack the Führersonderzug, as its movements and designs were always covered and wrapped together in thick layers of secrecy.

I like how you censored the flags but still have the 'Windmill of Friendship' on the train.
I dont think I've ever seen the swastika be described as the "windmill of friendship" 😂😂
@@kriscurran7794 friendship to germans though
HAH!
🤣
My friends call it the “Health and Safety Windmill.”
"Pardon me, boys, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
"Nein, nein, it's der Führersonderzug, track 29"
Good one. At last.
and you can give me a shine !
Fun fact: the same type of steam locomotives used on the Fuhrersonderzug, called Kriegsloks, are still in limited service in the Balkans after more than 80 years.
Yeah as someone who lives in a Balkan nation i swear i saw a train similar to it.
NO!
@@Jeppe-Covid1959 YES! There are a few Kriegsloks that are used to deliver coal to a power station near Tuzla in Bosnia.
Wow
If they ain’t broke, why replace ‘em?
My grandma often tells me the story that when this train passed through her village her teachers let her whole school stand next to the tracks and do the salute.
It might not have been voluntary
@@jamesricker3997 Of course it wasn't.
Dude, your grandma viewed this train with her own eyes? What a story to tell! Did she have any other stories of the war?
@@joshbaksim3943 Being bombed and cowering in a bunker most nights, attacked by low flying fighter planes, seeing the Americans advance and retreat, seeing the Russians come instead, losing her father in Russian captivity and losing her mother in 1947, hiding from the Russians to avoid rape and being "punished" by the local police man for not doing the "proper" greet and salute when entering a shop.
Yeah, not so nice stories.
Dang bro, that's rough. Sorry to hear that. She's got my respect for sure.
Now when you don’t censor the swatzica bands and the train front and replace the swatzica on the flag with the iron cross so it doesn’t get banned in Germany then simple history you have officially made a masterpiece history animation
@Don't Read My Profile Photo I hate accounts like you
I am german and I can watch them without issue. I wonder why YT is so merciful with simple history here were they force many others to bastardize history.
It's not called like that...
He doesnt need to censor cause the Video will fall in the culture and history section. These are not banned. You can even play wolfenstein uncensored in germany because it is seen as art. :)
@@speakersound4565 Not everytime.
UA-cam censors various things even though it's a historical video. The Iban Headhunters video was demonetized for being too violent.
And about the games, not all of them too
The German version of CoD WWII replaces the swastika on the flags with Iron Crosses
The animation for this channel has honestly gotten so good
Reminds me of a story I read about a trip he made to the eastern front. Coincidently, at one of the stops, a train carrying wounded soldiers from the front had stopped as well, heading west. Instead of allowing the soldiers to see their Fuhrer who they had given so much, Hitler closed the windows of his train, as if he refused to see for himself what the war was costing his own countrymen.
Where's your evidence for this?
Blah blah propaganda ….
The source has been forgotten so if you choose to not believe it feel free to do so. Hitler’s well documented actions as the war turned against him though do not show a leader who cared for his troops well-being.
@@Remembrance1776 Hitler was a national socialist and struggled his whole life to restore the german folk to morality and greatness. So, i'm pretty sure he cared for his troops well-being, he was also a soldier in WW1 so he knew exaclty what they went through and the struggles they faced.
You're simply regurgitating the same old propoganda about Hitler, oh he was evil, he was psychopath, he wanted to kill everyone bla bla bla
@@Remembrance1776 what.
Watching this as soon as I can. Those "windmills of friendship" might get the video taken down.
Interesting to know bits of info about historical world leaders from both the winning & losing side.
ua-cam.com/video/XxriU2Z4RTw/v-deo.html
OMG IT'S FINALLY HERE YES
I dont know if i find the fact you call them that funny ......or sad
Beautifully made video. Great job.
ua-cam.com/video/XxriU2Z4RTw/v-deo.html
OMG IT'S FINALLY HERE YES
They made Thomas do it!!
He couldn't tell them no
He wanted to be a good engine
HE DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO DAMMIT
He was only following his engineer's orders!
I'd like to see a video on the Halifax explosion next please.
Vouch.
The way this video looks is gorgeous.
2:35 the correct pronounciation would be Reich-See-Cher-Heights-Dienst (roughly)
Great video as always
Disagree with the "see" part - it's really just a short "si" in the German word, as in "SImmering"
@@DidamDFP true
its amazing how similar the setup is to airforce one. The vip suite, the communication relay, constant acces to press, even how it operated, sweeps, decoys, limited announcement. Nothing new under the sun eh?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Yup. As I heard the narration, it was easy to assume this was the blueprint to Air Force One.
Always props for showing history as it was. Respect
Imagine how lucky you felt when other guys were getting slaughtered on the Eastern Front and you got to man the guns on Hitler's armoured train.
This enraged his father who punished him severely
Another good channel.
Yes
Abused/tormented*
I came on youtube, cause my son wanted to watch “Thomas the train” so he can relive my excitement for trains.
Long story short “Hitlers Füher” train popped up instead😩😩😩 so Thomas the engine could wait
I thought this said "Hitler's Personal Trainer" 🤣🤣
Next time try to think more clearly. Bettter still, let me do all your thinking for you. They all you have to do is Listen and Learn and Follow and Obey.
Someone worked hard on the graphics for this. Simple, but almost 9 minutes of footage with so many scenes every few seconds must have been brutal.
“You need a vacation? Here take a trip on my train.” Mustache Man
I baked you a cake. Here, pop into my oven.
ERB reference lol
As a train enthusiast, this had to be one of the most interesting components of World War II
as a train enthusiast, I hate how they used an air horn for the majority of the sounds of a steam train
@@yeoldeseawitch Yeah lol
Oh Yes it's finally here
ua-cam.com/video/XxriU2Z4RTw/v-deo.html
IT'S FINALLY HERE
You know i like you guys. You claim to be train enthusiasts and you are very obviously what you claim to be. Train names , train profile Pic, train Playlists. Refreshing.
@@Black-Sun_Kaiser ....that kind of sounds a bit sarcastic to me. as in an "Oh good god, here come the nerds who know too much about a subject that no one really cares about" kind of energy you're giving off with that comment.
I LIKE HOW YOU USED A FUCKING AIR HORN FOR A STEAM TRAIN
SHOULDNT A WHISTLE BE MORE FITTING
Simple History has finally bought the latest DLC for HOI4.
My favorite episode of simple history by far.
1:45 nice snow piercer reference :)
Just wondering, what happened to the old narrator? I found his voice pretty great.
I got a farmers insurance ad when they were talking about burning the evidence that was on the train after each journey so it was like:
“…So it could not be used against the nazis”
*WE ARE FARMERS*
“You wrecked Hitler’s -car- train! What did he ever do to you!? Hooaaa!” 🤜 💥
Let me screen shot before thumbnail chage
History should never be censored or forgotten.. shame on you simple history 🤬
Its yt censorship
Führersonderzug translated from German means, "special train" pretty damn fitting for Hitler himself.
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!!
The only train we have in Finland is a thing called "suklaajuna". It can be hard to get on but you cant get off, until you get off.
The fat controller:hey thomas, have i ever told you about your german relative?
Castle Wolfenstein should’ve had a mission where you infiltrated Hitlers Train
If The Führersonderzug wasn't destroyed, it would have become an attraction for a WW2 museum.
I always knew Thomas the tank engine was evil....
Weird History: “Fuhrersonderzug”
Me: fuhrer-zigzag
Let’s not forget the time when mr.krabs sold SpongeBob’s soul for 62 cents
That’s cool
Simple History, can you do a video on the People Power Revolution?
I've studied Third Reich history for years and don’t know how so many people claim to have seen an NSDAP flag with the Balkenkreuz rather than the Hakenkreuz in the center circle. Too many gamers, not enough scholars these days I guess.
I know he was an evil, repressive dictator but his personal train looked luxurious.
Well obviously he's the fürhrer, everything in N@zi Germany were *_dripped_*
Thank you for video sir
Dang, I learned a lot. Thank you!
The Forbidden Thomas the Train character.
I thought that Führersonderzug had express engines with streamline casing: BR01.10, BR05 etc...?
Crazy. He even had THEE amber room onboard!
id like to see interwar cold war and modern present day factions vids aswell As from vietnam era war
Wasn't it named Amerika at one point? Quite ironic
Amerika was it given nickname in 1940, as Hitler did not believe that Germany would ever be at war with that country anytime soon. Once the US joined the war, Hitler immediately had the nickname changed.
@@WatcherMovie008 One neat fact one could bring up in any conversation
I am an American train buff, and this is my least favorite train (unless Stalin had a private train too)!
Then make it your second least favourite...
The Führersonderzug had also a Domecar
So classy.
"Sorry sir, i was told by a man sir. Thomas said."
"Thomas was only following orders."
Please make a video on the Chechen Wars.
Very good job fellows!! Congratulations.
Well done indeed!!!
Imagine that in Thomas and friends
Never ask to Train Thomas whats was his job back in the 40s
I just imagine the train where you get interrogated in by frau engel on wolfenstein
I’m glad you didn’t censor as much. censoring of the swastika has to go.
Pls make a video about the ultramar war pls.
this train must've been the Bismarck of land transportation of it's time and could be an excellent work (perhaps topnotch) of modern engineering if only the blueprints and plans survived
I love simple history for the history
The Reichisheinisdiensd.....your pronunciation is pure comedy.😂😂😂
This train seemed like a very useful engine
Flags: Censored
Train symbol: *Hello there.*
allmost perfect video, only the prononciation of "Reichssicherheitsdienst" 02:34 could use some work :)
The train reminds me a lot of Air Force One for the US President
Thomas the train : panzerkampf edition
@Simple_History So just to let you know in case of coving goring’s train, First off steam locomotives in Germany have whistles that aren’t a stereotypical toy train whistle, Second off Hitlers train wouldn’t be pulled by 2 Prussian T-14s (closest to whatever those things were) instead being pulled by either DR Class 52s,50s and 44s and finally the other trains would have the same locomotives along with others suck as Prussian, Saxonian, Barvarian or Austrian engines from before or during the war.
May God forgive Simple History for using toy train whistles and T-14's on this video 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Can you make video about the assasination of Heydrich and tragedy of Lidice??
This assassination is the most important thing from the Second World War in our Czech Republic
What do you mean?
I'm just imagining what he'd look like as a Thomas The Tank Engine character
Best villain
Hansel and Gretel the Führersonderzug
"Hans was a very useful engine...."
I was shipped overseas to America where I was turned into an experimental weapon for the US army. We're going to someplace called herosheema tomorrow. Can't wait to meet all the engines there.
😬😬😬 whos gonna tell him
This video enraged Adolf's father, who punished him severely.
Why are all the swastikas on flags censored but not the one on the front of the train?
With the Allies having air superiority over Europe and all the attacks the train survived until 1945.
Change the symbol on the flags, keep it on the arm bands and front of the train. Someone took half a day off.
The train is really cool it’s like German version of thomas and freinds
Very nice train art
"You look stressed vader, you need a vacation here take a trip on my train"- ERH hitler
I did it first
@@lucianoosorio5942 Calm down, let enjoy the fun
I wish I could like post more than once.
Why does the thumbnail look like it was taken from a family guy cutaway? 😂
“All we had to do, was follow the damn train, CJ!”
It seems like Thomas and his friends have made an arg
you're not paranoid if they're out to get you.
The airforce 1 of the day
This is not getting monetized…
Never ask:
A woman her age/weight
A man his salary
Thomas The Tank Engine who he was serving from 1933-1945
Stolen comment, didn’t even get the dates correct
i need some of that
1:37 - 1:47 is that a reference to Snowpiercer?
Tito alsov had Personal train... Every dictators are the same...
This beats the ball turret video.
Hitler would’ve hated Amtrak
I love Simple History but censoring flags (UA-cam wide problem obviously) will just make the younger generation think that that's what their flags looked like, when they didn't. It's very misleading.
Yeah.
Take that up with UA-cam's leadership.
@@pubcle it's a real shame when historical is less favored compared to many generic clickbait content.
Thomas The Tank Engine : Thomas Was Only Following Orders.
Dear fellow commenters
Thomas jokes are not appreciated. Thomas is a British engine and therefore would've been on the ally's side of the war
So please, stop it.
*Yes*
😂
I was then shipped to America where I volunteered to become an experimental weapon for the US. Me and my friend Enola are going to someplace called herosheema tomorrow. I can't wait to meet all the engines there.
THOMAS, NO! THE FISSLE PIT!
Fuhrerwagon, Sounds like an SUV.
This is a dark episode of Thomas the tank la
What a name lol. Super long and crazy
A little like your YT name. Not long but certainly crazy.
@@starcorpvncj Lol, likewise ;p
Congrats you have won the internet for today 👏
Says a nobody, owning nothing. What a worthy award from so eminent a person.
Some of the visuals remind me of Snowpiercer.
