I've actually been to Sevastopol and saw the craters left by this monster gun and many others on the Soviet defences, in some parts of it, you have underground tunnels, probably 7-10 meters underground or under meters of steel. While walking through these tunnels you will sometimes find yourself under the open skies, inside of gigantic craters, probably 20 meters across.

A weapon to surpass Metal Gear

What I remember about the cost around this gun, each shot was equivalent to the entire production of one 1943 Tiger Tank. It took about 200 gallons of gasoline to move the gun and fire the gun. It took 1-2 to reload the gun. From accidents alone, more men working on the gun died compared to the amount of people who got hit from the shell. There was a crazy multi billion Reich Marks program to get this gun and combine it to the V-2. It was called the V-3 project and never was started but hundreds of blueprints were made. The V-3 were the precursors to NASA launching ships into space.

Slight correction, the Maginot line was supposed to be bypassed to force the germans through Belgium and narrowing the area to be reinforce by troops while the Belgians fought a delaying action. The problem came from the French command structure which failed to properly reinforce the Belgians in time allowing the Germans to break out. Sabaton History covered it a bit in their video on Resist and Bite.

Yay another one! I love these videos.

I agree, I think it also would only be useful for an offensive. If you‘re on the defense in ww2, the enemy has air superiority, so you can’t assemble it without having it risked being bombed/destroyed. And there wouldn’t be many structures to shoot at, because the enemy is moving. Using a 120mm or something similar would get most jobs done far more efficiently. If you lose it, you can’t replace it

Rik Snoek Definitely useful (and it actually had a decent combat record) but also fuel-hungry.

I think it was the mobility of this gun that really hindered it. Its just like massive battleships, at least before the iowa class ships, were very slow and so usefulness was very limited. Going back to the gun, they really didnt elaborate at all on the Sebastopol siege. This gun made huge craters and had insane penetration against meters of concrete and steel. Like another comment said, you could be walking through a deep tunnel and then look up and see the sky because a shell had landed there during the war. Another cool story about the power of the gun was that it was able to hit an underwater ammunition magazine in this exact siege from nearly its max range. It was surprisingly accurate, granted accuracy isnt needed as much when youre throwing giant bombs at a fortified area.

I have been waiting on this video for so long :3

Correction Any artillery can be extremely accurate if it has a spotter. This is called artillery fire correction and with enough shots it can hit almost anything. "On the high seas" in battleship battles they were able to hit moving targets from up to 27 kilometers away using hydroplanes as spotters. So hitting fixed points like bunkers or warehouses wouldn't be a problem at all.

omg... I just realized the Ghost statue. Eyes up, Guardian!

Wouldn’t the largest fortification ever built be the Great Wall of China? That would dwarf the Maginot line! The Maginot line was also not just one coninuous wall but a bunch of gun emplacments that could give fire covering the emplacement next to it. It was a much longer line than was is depicted in all war documentaries taking this into account. This is shown and explained very well on the World War Two channel by Spartacus and Indy.

Ah yes the iconic weapon of war that probably is the only wonder weapon to be featured in the Medal of Honor series multiple times in some shape or form.

That thing reminds me of the Spirit gun from season 3 of Korra. It was probably the inspiration for Kuvira's weapon. Neat.

RIP Sevastopol :P

The English and German Wikipedia give different information and in this case I would trust the German site. Schwerer Gustav was the name the guns were produced under. The gun that was in use at the Russian front was only one. The name Dora was used by the operating crew. The second one that was build stayed inactive on the shooting range in Rügenwalde was blown up and scrapped. It had no name that was given to it except for the production name.

It's the modern day War Wolf, Just seeing them set up for the weapon had to be terrifying. Ironically the War Wolf Trebuchet was more practical lol When it was built there was no stopping it, this gun could be stopped or delayed with air strikes destroying terrain or the gun itself

This reminds me of the way the IJN thought a couple huge battleships like the Yamato and Musashi would make a difference but airplanes made huge battleships and giant railguns obsolete.

Ah the Gustav and Dora. About as effective and useful as a certain presidents' Space Force...

there was actually 2 guns. one was captured by the soviets after it was destroyed by the crew, and another was found by the british or americans, can't remember exactly, at the Heeres Versuchsstelle Hillersleben in germany, while it was still on testing grounds.

I mean I heard of a super long nazi Germany gun used to fight France, is this one that one gun? yes, it was this exact gun! the reason I found out was because I was randomly searching weird WW2 weapons and I found it

Hey Mr. Terry! Are there any natural disasters in history that you can give some insight into?

Awesome!

It was accurate enough to destroy an ammunition bunker in Sevastopal through water and concrete.

That is a major issue with super weapons, they may be awesome, but they are super impractical. I think the idea the P. 1500 was just some type of German engineer's idea of a joke, since it would probably be less useful than just having it on a rail, since there is really no where for it to move. It would pretty much destroy any road and bridge. The Germans had enough issue with the Panzer VIII.

Great reaction, Mr. Terry, but you went to war without your trusty helmet! ;-)

2:25 Atlantik-Wall and West-Wall beg to differ.

Very interesting.

@4:40 Nowadays, normal artillery fires that far, and depending on what exactly you mean by "being accurate", it actually is accurate. I'm sure I'm gonna butcher the next paragraph, because I'm not a native speaker and don't know all the correct military terms. The way artillery usually works is that you have three teams working together, (1) the observers at the front line who watch the impacts and measure where their locations which are then reported to (2) a fire controlling team that converts these measurements and the measurements of the original target to calculate corrections for (3) the actual artillery, i.e. how many degrees to correct the direction of the barrel. For the initial shot, team (2) also takes weather information into account. So yes, the initial shot probably won't hit the mark over that distance, but the second or third shot very likely will.

@DMSG1981

4 жыл бұрын

I should clarify, I meant to say that *nowadays* we can fire over that distance quite accurately. Having a monster like the Gustav that needs to be moved in its entirety to correct his horizontal angle, which I suspect takes a lot of time, so the winds probably change significantly between shots - that's an entirely different story. I agree that it's just another object showing Hitler's megalomania, just like e.g. his version of the _Arc de Triomphe_ that he wanted to construct in Berlin.

A very impractical weapon. Yes it was able to do a lot of damage to the fortifications of Sevastopol, but you could only load one shell every hour or so. It was slow to move (especially in Russia as the Russian railroads had a completely different gauge than the German and Polish railroads), and ran on 2 railroad tracks, of which one pretty much always had to be constructed on site! From the steel used alone, you could create 50 self propelled medium guns, or 35 large ones, and those would be able to fire 450 tons worth of high explosives in one hour compared to the 8 tons of the Gustav shell. They did start the construction of the second one but it was never finished. By that time, Germany ran out of resources and it became very apparen how inefficient this weapon was.

This gun was actually capable of firing across the English Channel, though aiming it at specific targets or ports would have been impossible. It seems like it would have been great for sieges and bunker busting if only it was a little more practical. Germany produced a ton of crazy weapons during the war including a gun with a curved barrel that could shoot around corners (the barrel had to be changed quite often as you can imagine). German scientists were actually working on a "sun gun" or "Sonnengewehr" which was essentially a space station that would use a giant reflector to burn entire cities similar to a magnifying glass burning an ant. When questioned by US officers, the scientists stated the gun would have been completed in 50-100 years (lol). Besides the often cartoonish stuff they did produce some incredible weapons that could have turned the tide if they had developed them sooner. The first jet fighter, the first ballistic missiles, the first practical helicopter as well as guided weapons and night vision. In terms of tactics, they were the first to use paratroopers in battle and the first airborne attack came in 1938 during the "Anschluss" when German paratroops landed in Wagram, Austria to capture an airfield.

At the end of the second world war, during the red army's invasion of Japanese occupied China, the Soviets discovered a German made vehicle which looked extremely weird. It was a tank smaller than a car and in the shape of a sphere. It's called the kugelpanzer or circular tank. People don't really know why the Germans made this for the Japanese but some think that due to the late Japanese military's mind set of 'divine wind' or kamikaze, the kugelpanzer may have been a suicide tank like kamikaze pilots. The original Kugelpanzer is still on display and it's one of a kind in it's uniqueness. Edit: I wrote this from memory so not all of it may be based in truth
