Historical background of Baureihe 52

The Baureihe 52 steam locomotive, also known as the Kriegslok, is an icon of the German military railway during World War II (1939–1945). It was designed by the Third Reich as a simplified, economical, and easy-to-mass-produce locomotive for transport operations on both the Eastern and Western Fronts. Over 6,000 units were produced and used, among others, in supplying the Battle of Stalingrad and in the occupied territories of Europe. After the war, many units were used by Central and Eastern European countries, and even in China.
