Expert author Bernd Kuhlmann gives a vivid account of rail travel in war-torn Berlin immediately after the surrender on 8/9 May 1945. He begins with a wartime retrospective, describing the changes in rail transport in the imperial capital since the beginning of the air raids in 1940, and then describes in detail how, after the end of the war in 1945, the railways in the occupied city got rolling again.
Historical black-and-white photographs and contemporary timetables, reproduced in the original, illustrate the book, which recalls a dramatic piece of transport history.
