was not the creation of any Apart from Adolf Hitler, it was his favorite toy, although many of his megalomaniac projects were canceled as the war progressed. He tried to force its existence to an end because it was central to the Nazi plans for world domination. Hitler was well known for his

insane

infrastructure projects: the German stadium was to be built in Nurg next to the congress palace and the Zeppelin field with space for 400,000 people, it would have been the largest stadium in the world, the Albah high bridge and Hamburg would have eclipsed the Golden Gate Bridge, these and many other projects were scrapped when the Nazis began to lose World War II, but Bribban was different.

It was considered one of Hitler's pet projects in 1941. He was given top priority. Hitler personally demanded that all necessary forces be deployed to carry it out, even though the steel was already available. extremely scarce at the time his project was awarded 84,000 tons, in fact we find the original plans for Hitler's monster train that the German historian anom Yim staler compiled from various archives and published them in this book, although the entire German industry was oriented war that the Nazi leaders commissioned. The same companies developed the B borban, more than 100 designs of locomotives and wagons were presented.

The distance between rails is called track gauge. Already then the standard gauge of 1,435 mm was already widespread throughout the world with small deviations in some cases. R Hitler He originally wanted a 4M gauge for his train after much back and forth, he was finally convinced to settle for 3m. The train itself was huge, 6M wide and 7M high. The length was up to 420 M for passenger trains. and more than a kilometer for freight traffic, a double deck as demanded by the fura, current trains almost seem insignificant in comparison, the interior of the BRB was supposed to be full of luxury, first class was located on the upper deck for have better views, here you had more space. a lush interior with clothes racks and comfortable armrests directly below, usually on the lower deck, the second class was still spacious, the third class was a little narrower, in addition, there were countless common areas where you could drink wine and lounge on sofas in a bar, similar configurations.

Without the bar they were in a reading and socializing area. The planned dining car was particularly impressive. In the drafts, it was paneled with natural wood trimmed with gold and had chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. It was supposed to be the only Decker car with ceilings, so what height, you wouldn't feel like you were on a train, in addition to this main hall, there were additional restaurants and breakfast rooms planned, the train was also to feature a cinema for almost 200 people, a smaller stage was to host conferences and performances, the train was meant to travel. Until now, the floors included sleeping cars in first class, after a large reception area.

Wealthy Nazis found spacious sleeping compartments with sofas, armchairs, a dressing table and a large window with views outside. The first classrooms also had to have their own sink and shower. the smaller second class dormitories only had one sink, however all passengers could freshen up in the bathing car, it was supposed to house four bathtubs and 20 showers, plus there were hairdressing salons for ladies and gentlemen, so that the cut was not damaged during the trip. There were also storage rooms and for staff, a pastry shop would provide guests with snacks, fresh pastries and all kinds of drinks.

Another highlight was planned at the end of the train, a completely glass-enclosed observation platform. At this point, we would like to have a smooth bridge to today. sponsor, but that's pretty difficult with this topic, they're a cool company and that's how we finance the making of these videos, so hold on.

They did not have access to the rest of the train. Their food was supposed to be cooked in a large kitchen next door, pushed through the train in a bucket and then distributed in a canteen, let's zoom out at this point. What did Hitler intend to achieve with Bribbon? Why did he give it such a priority? On March 24, 1942, Hitler had lunch with his Secretary of State, Hermon Esser, and the architect Hermon Gesler, in Munich, where he explained exactly what we need. a fast connection with Constantinople now Istanbul we need a fast connection between Upper Silesia and the Donits basin we need trains that can travel at 200 km per hour we need to build wider carriages preferably double deckers from the beginning the upper deck in particular must offer a good In our opinion, it should also be possible to use the tracks for double track.

Only in this way will it be possible to develop the eastern region particularly economically according to our plans, although the implementation of this railway program naturally involves many difficulties. We must not let this discourage us. Bribban was key in Hitler's plans to conquer the world. His goal was to replace sea transport with trains. Its broad gauge railway network was supposed to extend across the entire European continent and further afield there were discussions about a route from the UK. Mediterranean in pull through Spain Marsa Theon Valley to Munich here a huge crossing station was supposed to be built from there it would head south to Rome or east through Vienna to Budapest Belgrade Bucharest and then to Eastanbul another route was supposed to run from the chest through Paris the rur area to Berlin from the German capital the brbor trains should have passed through Poland and Belarus directly to Moscow there were plans to extend the Bribban through Iran to Iraq aiming The rich oil reserves there were ideas to build a railway to Vladas in the Sea of ​​Japan another line was supposed to reach British-occupied India.

Bri bban was not only planned for passengers but also for transportation of goods. Hitler wanted to supply his fire with raw materials and natural resources from all over Eurasia as well as workers. from the East were to be transported to factories and agricultural fields in Germany, therefore the wagons of workers from the East in the other direction the Germans should have spread across half the world by train, it was intended to be a tool to colonize in mass, as such the BR bban was heavily armed In case it encountered local resistance, it was supposed to transport soldiers and had huge ammunition chambers.

The train could even be used to transport heavy weaponry such as tanks or entire ships. Ultimately, the train was never built after the war. Some plans were taken to the Soviet Union. The files on the planned routes to France are supposedly located in Paris, were not published and apparently were not pursued, which is not surprising from the beginning, many experts of the German railway company were convinced that most of the areas of operation BR Ban's could also be covered by standard gauge trains but, of course, no one dared to seriously contradict Fura and speak of his toy as so many of Hitler's projects.

In scale, the more enthusiastic Hitler would be about a project, the Briborban powerfully illustrates the scope of Hitler's plans for conquest. The fact that he pursued such a strange project until the last days of the war shows how limitless her greed and his madness really were.
