////////////////////////////////////////

During the years following World War 1, the railway played a very important part in the newly democratic Germany. The railway was privatized and modernized as fast as possible and rapidly expanded following its near destruction during the war.

When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the railway was harnessed to serve their purposes and to spread terror under Hitler’s dictatorship. It played a decisive role in the War of Extermination in Eastern Europe and in the deportation of millions of people to concentration camps.

STEAM POWER 2 is the second of a 4-part documentary and provides a detailed history of that era with a profusion of historical facts, documents and pictures and interviews with leading historians.
