I've been reading up on heavy artillery of WWII and what are your opinions on the different artillery guns.
M1 240mm Howitzer: Its weight was 30 tons and traveled on a six wheel carriage. (What kind of truck transported this monster?) Was placed in a pit to absorb recoil. The barrel was put into place by a crane! (What kind of crane was used, and was it truck mounted?) The set up could take over eight hours.(How many men did it take?)
24cm Kanone 3: A gun developed for counter-battery work. Also a version was produced that was carried by 2 turretless Tiger Tanks. (Any photos that someone would have?)
Right now I am off to dinner and will follow up. Thanks
