This Nazi rail car emblem commonly called a Reichsbahn Eagle came from car No 84054 was captured by these men.
The old Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRB) was set up in 1920, under a provision in the Weimar Constitution, to take over the seven individual state railways in Germany at that time. Its existence ended with the defeat of Nazi Germany in the Second World War
