EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the awe-inspiring power of "Big Bertha" a German WWI gun mounted on a rail track. Taken by an anonymous German photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases the immense size and destructive capabilities of this supergun. The image depicts Big Bertha shrouded in smoke, symbolizing the devastating warfare that engulfed Europe during World War I. With its long-range bombardment capabilities, this weapon became synonymous with fear and destruction on the battlefield. Used by the German army between 1914-18, Big Bertha was manufactured by Krupp, one of Germany's leading arms manufacturers at the time. This field gun played a significant role in artillery warfare during the Great War. The photograph highlights both the impressive engineering behind Big Bertha and its strategic use on rail tracks. The rails allowed for mobility across different battlefields, giving German forces an advantage over their opponents. As we delve into history through this image, it serves as a reminder of how technological advancements can be harnessed for destructive purposes during times of war. It also pays tribute to those who fought valiantly amidst such chaos and uncertainty. This print from Fine Art Finder is part of Peter Newark Military Pictures' private collection and offers us a glimpse into one aspect of World War I weaponry that forever changed modern warfare.
