All the top Nazi leaders had special armoured trains, and Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring's was one of the largest and most palatial. And, incredibly, some of Göring's carriages still exist today! Find out how they survived the war and where they are in 2024.

    "What did Hermann Goring have for Breakfast ??" . . . "Luftwaffles" . . .
  • @HRM.H
    I cant imagine what all is hidden in private collections around the world..
  • @RADIUMGLASS
    Just imagine what we're going to find within the next 50 years as collectors start dying off.
  • @QUADFLY
    Love to learn on a Sunday! Thanks DrFelton
  • @bf-696
    "Goring loved his food." No, really? What gave that away?
  • Dr Felton. I have been a WWII buff all my life. If I hadn't gone into forensic science, I would have gotten my master's degree military history. This video is perhaps the most fascinating you have ever done. I never imagined that so much of these train cars would be in regular use into the 1970s and 80.

    "Porter! Goering is stuck in the tub again!"
  • @johnwelch6490
    I sat in his Mercedes Benz the Blue Goose in Marysville, Ohio. A collector in Dayton bought it in the early 90's from a Connecticut museum.
  • @willbee6785
    Dr Felton makes WWII history much more interesting.
  • @kios05
    Man Göring knew how to get the most out of his position
  • @jimhoade9265
    On the subject of Göring's trains you may be interested to know that there is a 15 inch gauge locomotive, Black Prince, at the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway in Kent which previously belonged to the Reichsmarshall.
  • 1:31 I can't get past the Kriegsloks whistles, what a haunting sound from the past, leave it to Doc Felton to keep us up at night.
  • @ericastier1646
    The shootage accompanying the narration is incredible, would have thought that even the German state with full secret access to war archives could not have produced as relevant video. I don't know how you access them and that alone would be worth an entire video.
  • @lovebaja
    Please never stop producing these videos!
  • @apurvakmr
    Mark Felton's video shows up on notification and i am happy
  • @seandelap8587
    This is truly fascinating and without this channel I wouldn't even have been aware of it because its never been mentioned elsewhere
  • @360Nomad
    Correction Mark, the Class 52 locomotive could pull the 15 armored carriages just fine. They need the extra one due to Göring's weight.
  • As a Locomotive Driver for the DB myself, it is realy interesting to see what happend to these Traincars. Thank you for keeping the history alive to every little part that contributed to it!
