    The Schwerer Gustav is a truely amazing feat of military engineering.
    An Amazing weapon.

      It had only one Problem: It portrayed itself as practically unusable in combat. As said in the video, there were made two barrels which were named "schwerer Gustav", which means "heavy Gustav" for everyone who is interested and "Dora". "schwerer Gustav" made it only to the testing ground, where it fired some 20 rounds before the inner layer of the barrel was worn out.
      Only "Dora" was ever mounted onto a railway lafette and saw use in combat at Sevastopol. It fired some 30-40 rounds over about one week (the estimated cadency of 12 shots a day suffered a tiny bit under the fact that the soviets were shooting back and genuinely weren't happy about the german tries of lobbing big iron soup cans at them). About the impact on the battlefield: "Dora" left some asteroid-impact-like craters everywhere around the city area, including several already german controlled supply lines and strategic points. So, they hit about everywhere except one place (i bet you can already guess): That one Ammunition Depot they were aiming at all the time was completely fine in the end.

      @@jonaselze9316 man, your data its all mess up.
      The Schwerer Gustaf was the gun deployed in the istmos that allows to reach Sebastapol. It fired 47 round during the siege and was very successfull in destroyed the main objectives, for the germans. Including an ammunition bunker situated 30 meters (98 feet) above ground level. He did his duty. Sebastapol surrender.
      After he was deployed 30 kms from Leningrad But never had the chance to show is power.
      The Dora was deployed briefly against Stalingrad, and was ready to fire on the 13th of september 1942,but was withdrawn when soviet forces threatened to encircle the german forces. It followed the retreting german forces.
      Ps: during testing and development, abaut 250 rounds where fired before, the barrel was sent to krupp to proper refit.
      Honestly i dont know were did you get that data. All the world knows that was the Gustaf that was in Sebastapol, and not Dora.
      What the hell, man.

    While I was in the military I drove the M548 cargo carrier for my gun (artillery piece). I hauled all of the ammo, camo netting and other supplies. The gun was a M110A1 8" self-propelled howitzer. My unit consistently dropped 350 lb shells into 55 gal barrels from 22 miles out. Also, we was one of only 4 other batterys that was capable of firing a low yield nuke. US Army Artillery B Btry 4th BN 4th FA '84-'86

    I saw Anzio Annie, AKA Leopold, a German World War II 280 mm Krupp K5 railway gun at Aberdeen Proving Ground when I went to school there in 1980. The United States Army Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Aberdeen, Maryland closed in September 2010. The Krupp K5 and and other pieces were relocated to the United States Army Ordnance Training Support Facility at Fort Gregg-Adams, outside Petersburg, Virginia. The 280 mm M65 Atomic Cannon made the move 30 years after I saw it, too. On May 25, 1953, the atomic cannon was tested at the Nevada Test Site where it fired a 15 kiloton shell (W9 warhead) at a range of 7 miles (11 km). You can see a video of the shot and the mushroom cloud forming on Wikipedia.
    The museum at Aberdeen was open to the public. Prior to 9-11, anyone could go on post and visit, but the U.S. Army Ordnance TSF is exclusively for training Soldiers and supporting research and development. It is not open to the public.. The U.S. Army Ordnance Training Support Facility (TSF) is the first Training Support Facility of the U.S. Army. It houses collections from Aberdeen Proving Ground, Redstone Arsenal, Picatinny Arsenal, and Watervliet Arsenal. These collections were moved and consolidated as a result of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 2005 decisions.

    @3:45 that cannon may have some forge welds, but it's construction reveals why we call gun tubes "barrels"! They were made of tightly fitted strips of iron or bronze and then bound with hoops of more metal. They were notorious for failing after relatives few shots and could easily do more damage to their own side as a bomb than a cannon.

    That was hilarious of you to say despite of how people claim the 16" guns would push the battle ship sideways from the recoil, you said it was not true. Hilariously at that same moment pictured is exactly the unmistakable clear evidence showing the proof that it absolutely and considerably shoves the ship sideways from the recoil of many 16" guns being fired together at once. I would ruff guess that ship was put to at least 3 knots in a port direction the instant those guns fired.
    See it at 3.15 it is an awesome site of the ships bow pointing at you just after a (9 16" gun) full broadside had just been fired. Anyone except the narrator can see the side wards affect the recoil has on that ship for sure

      ⁠​⁠@@joostprins3381Yes the SS and Wehrmacht were separate entities. But there was the SS and the Waffen SS as well. The latter being the élite military units. But you didn’t have to be a Nazi to be in the Waffen SS. Initially, absolutely. But as the war progressed, Himmler ordered the creation of more and more SS Divisions. And by the end of the war, they were taking just about anyone. I’ll give you one example. After Germany invaded Yugoslavia, they drafted all men of German blood. (Their fathers or Grandfathers were German) These they put into a Battalion called ‘Prinz Eugen’. They were to be a garrison. But later, this unit was used as the ‘seed’ for the 7th SS Mountain Division. The division was subsequently made up of men drafted from throughout the Balkans. They were all SS, but arguably few were Nazis, or members of the Nazi party. I am sure there were some hardcore Nazis in the Division, probably more amongst the senior officers. But most were not even German.
