    • @Wustenfuchs109
      @Wustenfuchs109 14 днів тому

      There are many issues with this train - which is why it wasn't built while other engineering advancements from the Nazi era were adopted and further developed. That alone should tell you that it is not "highly practical". Because, in engineering, if something is "highly practical", it gets adopted regardless of the political ideology where it originated.
      First thing is, a train system like that would require the entire continent of Europe agreeing to build it. If you know anything about Europe, that's the first thing that is your problem. Which is why Hitler planned for it when the entire Europe was his and all decisions for the continent were to be made in his office. In a world where Europe has even semi-independent states, you won't have an agreement for something like this because some regions would benefit, others won't - so no agreement.
      Next, money. I see in the comments that people live in an illusion that Nazi economic system wasn't capitalist, that it was somehow different from modern greedy corporations and how they do things. That is nonsense. Nazi economy was hyper-capitalist and their companies (which were private btw) were no less predatory than the worst ones from USA today. They just further used the political connections to form even greater monopolies. Money for a project like this would come out of the pocket of a German worker and then flow into the private pockets of greedy corporations and, in large part, Nazi party itself.
      For example, all slaves that were used... were not a free labor force. Corporations in Germany that were using them had to pay SS directly (there was a complete list of prices for various categories of slave workers) because those slaves were EXCLUSIVELY SS property. And SS in turn filled the party wallet. In Germany during the war, SS was one of the biggest and most profitable corporations because of it.
      So in a normal system, you pay a worker, and that worker then spends the money in the economy. In Nazi system, you don't own a slave (so workforce is free) nor do you pay a free worker (who then spends the money in the economy) you are paying another corporation to provide you with the workforce, that is not able to spend that money back in the economy. It was a scheme to enrich the party and its heads fast, it was never supposed to be a long term viable solution. They all knew it was extremely flawed. It was a "get rich fast" model, not "let's build a better Germany" model. Even before the onset of war, Germany was effectively bankrupt (when the president of Reichsbank warned about that, they removed him) and internal debt collection was postponed during the war. When planning expansion, Hitler and his cabinet talked first about "small wars of plunder" before the big confrontation with USSR and Allies - they knew already in 1937-1938 that German economy is going bust and that they need to plunder neighboring countries to keep it all going.
      In short, there was never economic system in place that would make decade(s) long project actually possible in the peace time.
      And then comes the question of practicality. Let us say that you DID solve previous issues. The entire Europe agrees (either you own it all, or they magically agree) and you have the money ready to build it. Then what?
      It was planned to travel only between very few big cities, with little to no stops between them. You could build their tracks next to adjacent ones, no problem - but you'd still need the entire capillary network of regular trains going from those few major hubs. And can you be sure that you will always fill the entire train? If not, then there is a bigger delay between departures - by which point you'd opt for a smaller train anyway.
      Simply put, you already had infrastructure in place which was WAAAAY more flexible, working and is economically viable. And you want to add basically 2 or 3 lanes (let's say 2 tracks each) of huge trans-continental railway when there is no need. Instead of that one big train, you can have 4 smaller ones - much better, more flexible, modular, it has existing infrastructure through the entire continent, reaching all the places already...
      All in all, if there was ever ANY practical use for a train like this, you'd have seen it developed since at least somewhere in the world, or at least someone would have had something similar on their design board. The fact that no one ever did should drive you to ask the question "Why?". Because, while it looks impressive, and while some of you may have sympathies for a certain Austrian man, he wasn't that smart (at least not when engineering is concerned) and there is almost 100 years of engineering practice since, all over the world, and no one ever saw this and said "Oh, how great and highly practical concept, let's develop it further!". Not a single one. Every engineer and public/mass transport engineer who sees this concept is immediately "Hell no!", regardless of whether you tell them it is a "Nazi train" or not.

      Hitler's schizo egocentricism screwed it up. If he hadn't been obsessed with the ridiculous 3 metre gauge, this could have been an early precursor to high speed rail like the Autobahn was to modern highways. Everyone around him thought that making a new railway with incompatible gauge was insane, and it seems the only reason he was so adament on it was because he believed that bigger was better no matter what

    2:24 yes, if you use a wrong model of an ICE... No ICE is that short. An ICE 3 (which this model is supposed to be) is 200 Meters long. If two of them run together (which they often do), the train is 400 Meters long. A.k.a just as long as the Breitspurbahn. The same length can be reached by a single ICE 1 or ICE 4.
    Freight trains can reach a length of up to 750 meters in most of Europe and well over 1 km in a lot of other places like North America.
    The gauge is the only thing that really makes the Breitspurbahn look big. Because every other metric is already met by modern trains.

    I have to say..
    Aside from the Working Slave Wagons, you could argue that this is one of Hitler's lesser *evil* projects as it mostly was just for connection purposes.
    Just the thought to have a rail network spanning from the west and east in Europe (and Asia) is pretty smart. On today's basis we could adapt such a system to make an Europe wide connection net, reaching to Russia if you theoretically think about it. (Sadly politically it doesn't seems so great)
    Modern technology systems like a maglev (which already existed in the 2000s) could be used to build such a huge intercontinental connection network between Europe and Asia to REALLY solve our CO2 Issue with having to rely less on plane flights. 🧐
    In the end, it is a great theoretical idea however practically there are way to many issues (sadly), with both the old "Breitspurbahn" as well as a modern train network version (with for instance: Maglevs) and thus are still unlikely.. so we can just hope for the best. Who knows, maybe in a few decades such a connection between Europe and Asia as well as internally in Russia and Europe could be built. 🤔
    (In the end, it's just a simple pipe dream which might or might not will become reality.)

      @matsv201 2 місяці тому +4

      I´m part of a group that pushing a rail transport solution with similar but updated performance. Its built on a already existing rail system with tweaks to power supply and loading gauge. The original loading guage is 4x4.2 meter. It planed to be expanded to 5x6 meter. (so basically a meter shy in both direction). Trails would be up to 500 meters long
      Having it wider would actually make sens. 5 meter wide is a bit to shy of two full cabin width. The issue is that the system its built on have problem supporting wider trains.
      A primary night route on plan now would be Helsinki to Athens, with a later Oslo-Neapel, that both routes would take about 10-11 hours with a fairly low speed (the track would primary used for local transport and express fright daytime).
      That would later be intended as a collector route for a much longer Asian route. We are quite a few years into the future, and working under the assumption that the situation in Russia and China would chill down by then. One possible endpoint could be Singapore with a possible 5 hour connection to Perth in Australia that would allow people to go from Europe to Austria with a nice coshy sleeper train majority of the way.
      The economics of the European routs is actually surprisingly solid. The problem is that the first link is very expensive to build. But there after it will be cheaper and cheaper. When a handful of links are built the track would generate more cash than it cost. So we are basically poking different government to spend the money to built the first link. Well.. let me say it this way. Nobody want to be first, everyone want to be second.
      Got the response from multiple transport agencies in multiple countries that if we built it to there border from a outer country, they are interested in building there part. Nobody want to build the first section.
      The Europe to Asia part got a bit more iffy economics. But there are people working on solving it.

      He came close, several times but his egomania and allies got in the way.
      The Battle of Moscow ended with the bitter defeat of the Wehrmacht, who fought within kilometers of the city and although they were heavily exhausted, an excerpt from a particular General (whose name evades me) noted that Moscow could have been taken but Hitler thwarted his own opportunity to take the Kremlin (or at least establish a battlefront in the city itself) because he wanted the "Ferdinand" tanks under development to serve a symbolic role during an assault on Moscow and the opening to the Kremlin began to close with time. Those tanks were never fully completed, by the way and the unassembled carriages were later converted into Assault Guns I believe. (A poor man's tank.)
      Not destroying the British; which the Reich had the means to do but insisted on a terror bombing campaign against the them instead. This would have dire consequences for the Reich, who likely left the British standing solely because Valkyrie Mitford, a famous Nazi (not a Fascist) appropriator and possible (likely) girlfriend of the Angry Moustache Man; swayed his decision to do so out of emotional distress, only to shoot herself later. (A common trend amongst women that involve themselves with him.)
      One could assume the Reich wanted the British to submit and become an Axis satellite like Rumania, Croatia etc. because of their colonies, but taking into consideration Operation Hercules (which the Italians stupidly turned down in favor of an invasion of Greece) and Italy's disastrous annexation of the eastern French coast and alps, that the idea of keeping the British around was long discarded in favor for their complete eradication and maintaining the ethos of a Greater Germany and a New Roman Empire.
      Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor solidified the US entry into the war (and subsequently Canada, Brazil) despite the American position on the going-on's of Europe at the time being largely indifferent. Canada themselves let 900 Jews die who came on the MS St. Louis for refuge from the Holocaust, knowingly denying these people asylum from genocide. The League of Nations (NATO) are murderers and opportunists. Lest we not forget Poland was doubly invaded by the Soviets AND the Nazis, whose armed forces mutually partitioned Poland and saluted one-another in the streets of Warsaw as they proceeded to co-operatively loot and burn the city.
      While China was burning throughout the 20's until the Japanese too, added to the political KMT-Communism-Warlord madness happening there by invading Nanking and occupying Manchuria akin to Operation Barbarossa.
      The Reich could have conquered USSR if you look at the performance of Axis forces (until '43; although some stellar examples of defense were exhibited by the Axis once the tables turned) throughout the war.
      Now add logistics and things get hilarious. Hitler made absolutely sure German women could still get access to luxurious vanities like lipstick and make-up (literally for Eva's personal sake) but made little concern of the bitter winters that soldaten were baring in their spring and summer field uniforms which obviously, were ill-equipped for Eastern European/Far East Asian winters. MP43's could have possibly been in the hands of the average soldier much sooner and Stalingrad, Petrograd and many other sites of fighting quickly brought to attention the power of an SMG and handguns in urban fighting. Let's not forget the high military command stated by Christmas of XIX41, that the campaign would be over (two atomic bombs in '45 later lol)
      He had chances but if you look at the bigger picture, the defeat of Moscow and establishment of lebensraum wouldn't have begun with the capture of the Kremlin. France's Free Zones were still a problem; Africa was re-captured from the Italians by the Brits, lolGreece (don't f* with these people), the Manchurian problem was HUGE and complicated, Jugoslavia was an entire open battlefront and of the few "neutral" countries, they would have required pacification akin to Cassibile at the tiniest incursion (Spain, Switzerland)
      Win yes, he could have (it would've been short-lived.)
      But maintain the victory? *Highly unlikely.*
