Germany had used armoured trains in WWI, but prior to the start of WWII, the armoured train was seen as something of a relic by the German defence force, the Reichswehr, and its government-renamed successor in 1935, the Wehrmacht. The Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG), or German National Railway between 1920 and 1945, saw armoured trains as a way to preserve and advance a military presence. By keeping a strong military face on this state-owned railroad. The BR57 armoured trains locomotive was actually based on the Prussian series G10 locomotive first built in 1910 and featuring an 0-10-0 wheel arrangement.
