42 cm Gamma howitzer

The 42 cm kurze Marinekanone L/12, or Gamma-Gerät ("Gamma Device"), was a German siege gun built by Krupp. The Gamma-Gerät's barrel diameter was 42 cm (17 in), making it one of the largest artillery pieces ever fielded. It was designed from 1906 to 1910, then used by the Imperial German Army during World War I at various sieges and battles in Belgium, France, Poland, and Serbia. A single Gamma-Gerät survived World War I and saw limited use in World War II by the Wehrmacht to attack the Maginot Line and besiege Sevastopol.
