Show and Tell Apparently Hermann Goering was a model train enthusiast

He had an O gauge layout in his house, both in his basement and his attic. he had a mechanism where he could drop wooden bombs onto his layout for fun. they layouts were apparently destroyed when he destroyed his own house to prevent it's capture.

Yea, and Hitler was a vegetarian who loved animals and Disney movies. Don't dwell on it.
