Here, you can clearly see the equipment from Gruber’s unit being loaded onto aging railcars.
The low-sided wagons shown here are characterized by their low side walls, making them ideal for transporting bulky goods—such as horse-drawn wagons, vehicles, or machinery—that could be loaded from the side.
During World War II, these wagons were essential to Wehrmacht logistics, as they allowed for the rapid loading of vehicle fleets and heavy equipment without requiring complex loading ramps for every single car.
They were the workhorses of railway logistics, as their side walls could be folded down when needed to facilitate loading and unloading.
