Schwerer Gustav – The Largest Gun in the World ⚙️🔥

The Schwerer Gustav was a gigantic railway gun developed by Nazi Germany during World War II. With a caliber of 80 cm, a length of 47 meters, and a weight of 1,350 tons, it was the largest artillery piece ever built. Its shells weighed up to 7 tons and had a range of up to 47 kilometers. The gun was used in the Siege of Sevastopol in 1942 but proved impractical and was later abandoned.

Im always amazed at how the germans found the time and resources to build so many innovative machines

[Dupa-yash]

And every piece was a mechanical custom made piece. Not one microchip involved. Absolutely AMAZING! And the time it took them to build it! The Germans were the definition of brains over brawn

[JohnJRighteousHypocrite]

Imagine if they put this kind of thought and insight into finding a way to better humanity, what kind of things they could have contributed. Instead of trying to kill each other

[protagonist]

Поражает как быстро они достигали прогресса во всем, от науки до военного дела. Сегодня многие страны стоят на месте десятилетиями

„Warum schießen wir nicht einfach mit einer Riesenkanone Projektile in der Größe eines Kleinwagens rüber nach England?“ „Das klingt gut!“ 😂

[Немец]

Это Дора. Один снаряд, весил семь тонн. Обслуга этого орудия, насчитывала 1500 тыс. человек. Затраты бешенные. Считается самой мощной и самой бесполезной

This is that same gun that Walter White was telling Jesse about

[Zabok]

- Ahah, "Gustav", what a funny name! 😂
- Gustav shows up: 💀

[thesharpsword]

This shows the great level of the German geometry and engineering that focused on quality . On the contrary, the Russians focused on the practicality and quantity and they won the war at the end

Мой дед Томаев Александр, защищал Севастополь☮️🕊️

For those that say it was a waste, may be right.
But lets consider this...
Every target it was aimed at, it destroyed. Yes it took a lot of men and time to set up, but it also saved a lot of men and materials that wouldve been lost assaulting these targets. Was it overkill? Perhaps. How many men and how many resources were dedicated to the Manhattan project? Its all about perspective.

I have been to many countries, and I can confidently say that Germans were very disciplined and hard working nation. There is no nation that can come closer to Germans. They are so efficient, and rules are everything for them.

Hitler really gave Krupp a blank check and said "let them cook"

Das war das Eisenbahngeschütz "Dora", das in Sewastopol zum Einsatz kam.

[kabra]

Technisch ein Meisterwerk,
Militärischer Nutzen gering u d viel zu aufwendig.
Über 2000 Mann Bedienmannschaft benötigte man für dieses Geschütz.
Zusätzlich Gleislegetrupps, und zum Schutz dieses Monster Flugunterstützung.
Logistischer Grösenwahn

[johndoe]

The only time this gun was used. It was a monster. Thanks for the video.

[Tdtcom]

Heute haben wir nicht schwere Gustave sondern fette Kinder

[VolnaVolna-dbxw]

В Севастополе тогда была настоящая мясорубка. Мой дед выжил, и я горжусь этим!

[bradjones]

The music beating slow like a dying heart with the view of this awsome weapon is scary but also fitting. WOW.

[ElmerChinchay-tfsd]

Que tal obra de ingenieria para esos tiempos, es impresionante.
