I like this obus very much like its cousin number 10 and number 18, this model was used by the Germans in World War II, the only difference is that due to the technological advance those wheels that looked like carriages were changed by rubber wheels similar to those of truck
I'm pretty sure it's an big ol' artillery piece drawn by horses. I imagine the relatively short barrel would let the enemy not know its movement until it's been fired.
Many of those shells due to productions problems were duds and even after firing they didn’t explode so the country to they say they find literally tons of shells.
@@klokar21 Hmm. Due to the problem in ammunition manufacturing (there are these "changes" or something) most of the shells delivered are imperfect, resulted in mostly duds or unexploded ordnance. The result forced the commander to ask for more and more ammunition from the factory in order to completely saturated the target area.
this is not at all accurate 1. that's not a big bertha, if it was, it would be 3x the size, transported in several parts towed by tractor tugs, and assembled in a prepared position 2. the way they just dragged it up a hill and immediately loaded and fired. They couldn't have emplaced, scoped, aimed and fired in the time it takes to unlatch the horses, even artillery today takes more than a few moments to set up 3. they're firing it on soft muddy ground. Most medium and heavy artillery in WWI needed a solid platform to fire off of so the recoil didn't push the chassis into the soil after repeated firing. They would have used wooden beams, metal bars, cobbled stone, anything at hand to keep the gun from burying itself 4. they left the cassions in front of the cannons during firing, in the most dangerous and inconvenient spot they could have put them. The crew would waste so much time walking around the entire gun each time they wanted to fire. Not just the incoming fire from enemies if they happen to be in line of sight is a risk, but chainfire can happen if hot gas ignites powder, the shock or recoil can topple the cart and spill ordinance, or the cart can simply roll away since it's on a hill. 5. pulling a howitzer up hill like that would have been much better suited for a tractor. Not saying they wouldn't use horses if they had them, but they would struggle much less with a traction engine, and with heavy artillery, they likely would have had the supporting equipment to do so. 6. the dirt below the guns when they fire says they didn't dig a recoil trench, so the mechanism could operate without hitting the ground. Without that, you put your gun at great risk for damage and breakages. At best, you would get maybe a dozen rounds off before the gun stopped functioning and became unuseable without major repairs
this is a movie, war horse, and about a boy's horse that was sold to the british army, and then this scene shows the horse carrying artillery, That is, they made the scene to show the horse
My man it’s literally not that deep, it’s a movie about an omnipotent horse that survives the first major war being waged on an industrial scale. It’s a Hollywood movie as well, so I can understand Steven Spielberg cutting up the footage so we wouldn’t have to see 25 minutes of artillery preparation and 2 weeks of land surveying.
Technically, this is a mortar, which is distinguished from a howitzer. Of course, many people call mortars howitzers, but their method and design are different.
@@sergioaste4204 a mortar is a gun designed to fire from about 45 degrees to 90 of elevation, a canon is designed to fire from 0 to 45 degrees of elevation and a howitzer is designed to go from 0 to 90 degrees.
These guns have an impressive recoil dampening system for their time, whereby the recoil is mostly taken up by the movement of the barrel rearwards, rather than the entire gun and carriage rolling backwards.
horses were literally bred for this you stupid new age soy man, same as dogs, you are the one torturing animals keeping them as inbred pets or trophies
Why would you go to all that trouble to drag these guns up to the top edge of the ridge? The increase in range for guns like this would be negligible. You're making it easier for counter-battery fire to locate your guns. You now have to haul your shells and powder up the hill to continue firing (and if you stockpile you're just creating a juicy target that will destroy your whole battery). There is now no room to build revetments or stack sandbags in front of your guns. This doesn't make sense other than to punish your men and horses for no reason.
The German 21 cm Morser was probably the most used heavy howitzer during the war. The allies had nothing like it and the Germans used it from 1914 through 1918.
@@justinmorgan2126Not bigger in shell weight, no concrete piercing shell, 5x shorter range, easier to detect by enemy forward observers since its closer to the front and it has a much slower rate of fire as per the wiki article you listed. One shot every 6 minutes for the French mortar and 1-2 rounds a minute for the German.
If you read the book the guns of august, the usual forts in the low countries held up the Germans advance......til the Germans rolled up with these things.....
The scene is cut to make it more compact and more action oriented. It would be boring setting up, having it firing at the correct position and loading it etc
@@thomasalvarez6456 No it wouldn't they just showed horses trotting along for like 5 minutes, what would it hurt to load the propellant charge after the projectile??? It takes a well trained crew mere seconds to do this action. And it wasn't cut or edited out either. The loader literally shut the breech immediately after the loading of the projectile, and they immediately raise the gun all in the one take. Its not that it was cut out in the editing, it was never filmed!!
@@thomasalvarez6456 Watch this ruclips.net/video/arAk1IZIkpQ/видео.html How long does it take to throw a propellant charge in after the projectile? Like half a second.
you actually do , your gun has a better view ,can fire at higher range and you can actually see your targets. thus ww1 you didnt have fancy targeting strategy that exclude seeing the actual target.
I was just wondering if that's accurate, because for example the Polish artillerymen serving in Imperial German Army had to learn and use German commands, to the point that the soldiers of Army of Greater Poland did not establish proper code in Polish until 1920s - when they were firing their guns against the Germans during Greater Poland Uprising in 1918/19, and against the bolsheviks in 1919/1920, all commands were given in German.

love that sceen. tbh the guns could have had a deeper sound..
Atleast no one complains about lack of recoil.
Did you ever hear a real drumfire...?
I think these morsers are deeply held into the ground to prevent strong recoil from misplacing itself.

Lucky you
In WWI there were Cannons used this big, it is said, we couldn't rebuild them anymore - because we seem to have forgotten how...
Adding dignity to an otherwise vulgar brawl.
I was expected a lot more recoil. I didn't look like they anchored it to the ground, so that doesn't explain why there was so little recoil
