EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw power and intensity of the German 15cm Model 13 heavy field howitzer in action during the First World War. Designed and manufactured by the renowned German armaments company Krupp, this formidable weapon played a significant role in the battlefields of Europe between 1914 and 1918. The 15cm Model 13 was a heavy, towed artillery piece, capable of firing a 45.5 kg shell over a distance of up to 10,500 meters. Its large caliber and long range made it a valuable asset to the German artillery corps, enabling them to engage enemy positions from a distance and with devastating effect. In this image, we see a team of German soldiers expertly maneuvering the gun, with the barrel raised and ready to fire. The intense concentration on their faces reveals the gravity of their task, as they prepare to unleash the destructive power of the 15cm Model 13 upon the enemy. The surrounding battlefield is a chaotic scene of mud, debris, and the aftermath of battle, with the smoky horizon in the background serving as a stark reminder of the great and terrible war time that raged around them. This photograph offers a unique and powerful glimpse into the world of First World War artillery warfare, and the crucial role that weapons like the German 15cm Model 13 played in shaping the course of the conflict. It is a poignant reminder of the bravery and determination of the soldiers who served on the front lines, and the immense sacrifices they made in the name of their country.
