Pictured here is the EyeUbiquitous_20122152, a German Railway gun captured at the Battle of Amiens. This colossal weapon, known as Big Bertha M42, struck fear into the hearts of its enemies. Recruitment posters featuring silhouettes urged brave men to join the war effort.

Take a glimpse at RMS Olympic from White Star Line on this postcard; it showcases their collaboration with Krupp through its crane. The New Krupp Munitions Factory in Essen, Germany stands as a testament to their industrial prowess.
