Germany’s Railway Plough

Описание: As World War II turned against Nazi Germany, retreating forces employed a ruthless strategy to delay the Soviet advance—scorched earth. A key tool in this policy was the Schwellenpflug, or railroad plough. This terrifying machine was dragged along tracks to rip them apart—bending steel rails, splintering wooden ties, and rendering entire rail lines useless. Railroads were critical for Soviet logistics, and destroying them severely disrupted troop movements and supply chains. The railroad plough didn’t just damage the tracks—it made sure they were nearly impossible to repair in a hurry. This tactic reflected Germany’s goal of leaving nothing behind that could aid their enemies. The use of the railroad plough is a stark example of total war—where infrastructure becomes as much a battlefield as any front line.
