Reichsbahn Eagle
Eagle pulled off a locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, Nazi Germany’s state-owned railway enterprise. Originally in silver aluminum, these eagles began being coated in matte-black towards the end of the war as anti-aerial camouflage as German air superiority waned. The resulting appearance is a rather menacing and ominous one compared to its early-war silver counterpart. This aesthetic transition is reflective of the regime’s repressive tendencies that only heightened as the war situation continued to deteriorate.
