Specific Item Information: Following the construction of test wagons in the years 1936-38, the DRG put streamlined express train wagons into service. The windows and doors were installed completely flush in the exterior walls of the wagon; the side walls ran down over the actual end of the wagon and between the bogies. The "skirted wagon" thus achieved substantial reductions in wind resistance. The German Imperial Post and MITROPA also ordered wagons in this new form.

Road Name History: The Deutsche Bundespost (German federal post office) was a German state-run postal service and telecommunications business founded in 1947. It was initially the second largest federal employer during its time. After staff reductions in the 1980s, the staff was reduced to roughly 543,200 employees in 1985. The corporation was dissolved in 1995 under the first and second postal reforms that took place in the German Post Office. Following the reforms, the former Deutsche Bundespost was broken into three publicly traded corporations: Deutsche Post AG (German Post), Deutsche Telekom (German Telecom), and Deutsche Postbank AG (German Post Bank).
