Historical description:

The BR 52 steam locomotive was one of the most important German freight locomotives of World War II. Designed by Deutsche Reichsbahn to meet Wehrmacht needs, it was characterized by a simplified construction, rapid assembly, and high durability even under demanding frontline conditions. BR 52 locomotives, produced from 1942 to 1945, were widely used on all fronts for both military and civilian transport. The Steifrahmentender is the reinforced version of the tender, enabling transport of larger amounts of water and coal—crucial for long-distance wartime operations.
