It was named F\u00fchrersonderzug “Amerika” in 1940, and in January 1943, was renamed the F\u00fchrersonderzug “Brandenburg”.[1] The train served as a headquarters until the Balkans Campaign. Afterwards, the train was not used as F\u00fchrer Headquarters (F\u00fchrerhauptquartier), however Hitler continued to travel on it throughout the war between Berlin, Berchtesgaden, the Wolfsschanze and his other military headquarters.[2]Before the first permanent F\u00fchrer Headquarters Felsennest was used in May 1940, the F\u00fchrersonderzug served as a mobile headquarters. Hitler and his entourage used this train to visit various fronts and theaters of war. For safety, a front train and rear train were used to prevent any possible attack.The train was originally named F\u00fchrersonderzug “Amerika”, purportedly because Hitler wanted to pay homage to the European conquest of the Americas.[3] After Germany declared war on the United States, on 31 January 1942 the train was renamed to the F\u00fchrersonderzug “Brandenburg”.[1][3]In late April 1945, Hitler ordered his aide and adjutant Julius Schaub to travel to Austria to destroy the F\u00fchrersonderzug.[4]Components[edit]The exact elements of the train are not known; documentation for each journey was destroyed after the trip to prevent it being used to plan an attack.[5] Some details were revealed by the departure information “Bln 2009”, when the train departed the Anhalter Bahnhof in Berlin on 23 June 1941, arriving at Wolfsschanze on 24 June 1941;The individual 10-16 components (locomotives and railway cars) in order were:[6][2]Two  locomotives (Deutsches Reichsbahn K5E Kriegslokomotive[7])a special Flakwagen armoured anti-aircraft train flatbed car with two anti-aircraft guns, most often a pair of quadruple 20mm Flakvierling  batteries, one at each end of the car. It also had the quarters for the officers and men from the Luftwaffe 9 Regiment General G\u00f6ring that manned the guns. Goering’s trainset flak cars used anti-aircraft cannons.a baggage carthe F\u00fchrerwagen,  used by Hitlera Befehlswagen (command car), including a conference room and a communications centera Begleitkommandowagen, for the accompanying  twenty-two-man security force (SS-Begleit-Kommando and Reichssicherheitsdienst detachment[8])a dining cartwo cars for guestsa Badewagen (bathing car)another dining cartwo sleeping cars for personnela Pressewagen (press car) for press chief, Otto Dietrich, and staff[9]another baggage caranother FlakwagenOtto Dietrich indicates that the Flakwagen never had to be used when Hitler was travelling. The “Pressewagen” was to receive and release press reports, not for journalists.[10]Other Sonderz\u00fcge[edit]There were other special trains (Sonderz\u00fcge in German) used by prominent German officials;[11][12]Ministerzug (Ministers’ Train), used by Joachim von Ribbentrop and Heinrich HimmlerSonderzug “Afrika” (also called “Braunschweig“), used by the chief of the Armed Forces High Command (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht , OKW))Sonderzug “Asien” (also called “Pommern“), used by Hermann G\u00f6ringSonderzug “Atlantik” (also called “Auerhahn“, “capercaillie”), used by the supreme commander of the Navy (Kriegsmarine)Sonderzug “Atlas” (also called “Franken“), a command train used by the Armed Forces Operations Staff (Wehrmachtf\u00fchrungsstabes)Sonderzug “Enzian” (“gentian”), a command train used by the chief of the Intelligence branch of the Luftwaffe (Nachrichtenwesens der Luftwaffe)Sonderzug “Ostpreu\u00dfen” (also called “Sonderzug 4“), used by the Army General Staff (Oberkommando des Heeres, OKH))[a]Sonderzug “Robinson 1”, used by the chief of the Command Staff of the LuftwaffeSonderzug “Robinson 2”, used by the chief of the General Staff of the LuftwaffeSonderzug “Steiermark” (also called “Heinrich” and “Transport 44“), used by Heinrich HimmlerSonderzug “Westfalen”, used by Joachim von RibbentropSonderzug “W\u00fcrttemberg”, used by the Army General Staff (Gen.
