The DRG had already begun to remove the brakeman's cabs from passenger train coaches in the course of scheduled inspections and only the handbrake system was retained for legal reasons. Nevertheless, coaches with brakeman's cabs also survived the 2nd World War and were used by both German railway administrations. In addition, many of the Bachmann caps were replaced by Wendler suction cups. Curiously, the outer toilet doors were locked again by the DRG and later often completely removed.
