EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the awe-inspiring power of "Big Bertha" the legendary German Krupp gun that bombarded Paris during World War I. Standing tall in a field, this massive artillery piece looms over its surroundings, emanating an air of both fear and fascination. With a remarkable range of over 60 miles, Big Bertha was one of the first superguns ever created. Its ability to strike targets from such an immense distance revolutionized warfare tactics and instilled terror in those who witnessed its devastating capabilities. The billowing smoke surrounding the gun serves as a haunting reminder of the destruction it unleashed upon unsuspecting cities. As a symbol of German military might during the Great War, Big Bertha became synonymous with long-range bombardment and technological superiority. This field gun played a significant role in shaping the course of World War I, leaving an indelible mark on history. The photographer skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the essence of this fearsome weapon. Through their lens, we are transported back to a time when nations clashed on unprecedented scales, forever changing our understanding of warfare. This historic image is part of Peter Newark Military Pictures' private collection and offers us a glimpse into one aspect of Germany's involvement in World War I. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and serves as a stark reminder that even amidst chaos and destruction, there can be beauty found within historical artifacts like Big Bertha.
