Where it says ‘domestic trains’, does that mean for only trains inside that country (this is for Germany) or does it mean for all of Europe. Or, does international mean anywhere outside of the country that these rules apply (the rest of Europe). Eg. if I were to travel from Berlin to Brussels would I be able to take any of the Domestic trains or would it have to be international?

You can use any train of DB (german rail) or Sncb (belgian)
The Thalys is reservation compulsory
The ICE is optional means you can buy a reservation if you wanna have a seat for sure.
Thank you. What does domestic and international me in regards to the countries I can travel to. I assume international means around just Europe and not anywhere else in the world?
Does domestic mean just within that country for example, I can only use the train listed under domestic around Germany, or could I get it to somewhere outside of Germany (eg Brussels) or does that class as international travel?
Donestic just within a country
International means cross atleast one border
Please ignore the OCP & GP Its a special option (how tickets are sold) this form is quite complicated for starters

But you are in BElgium now?
The very same train running DE->FR can have pax for domestic INside DE only or for INtern-the latter need to reserve. This way people can use the very rare double deck TGV that runs also INside DE (coming from Paris-Via Karlsruhe to Stuttgart-MÜnchen) without need to REServe.
