    My grandpa used to live in a small village in germany during ww2 as a kid (he was 8 years old when the war ended) and this train was once parked in a tunnel nearby, while Hitler was visiting one of his headquarters. My grandpa and his friends tried to have a look at it but were send away by some soldiers. Unfortunately the allies found out about the trains location and started attacking the village because of it.

    The Führersonderzug was Adolf Hitler's personal train. It was named Führersonderzug "Amerika" in 1940, and in January 1943, it was renamed the Führersonderzug "Brandenburg". The train served as a headquarters until the Balkans Campaign. Afterwards, the train was not used as Führer Headquarters, however, Hitler continued to travel on it throughout the war between Berlin, Berchtesgaden, the Wolfsschanze and his other military headquarters.
