Manfred,

A subject that greatly interests me and I wholeheartedly agree with you from a historical perspective. The significance of German trains and their operations cannot be underscored. It was a big organization. Why not and it certainly makes sense. But, I would still need hard evidence.

Also, It's amazing how the germans utilized trains, particularly throughout WWII. From passenger trains to freight/munition trains, troop trains, hospital trains and guard trains just to name a few. You name it they had it and where very clever in their usage. Most interesting to me are what I call "Special Trains". A few of the top leadership had their own to include Hitler. I was fortunate to have used Goering's "Special Train" and others.
