World War II marked the zenith of railway gun development. Although
many of the railway guns deployed at the start of the conflict were
of World War I vintage, Germany's ambitious development programme
saw the introduction of a number of new classes, including the
world's largest, the 80cm-calibre Schwerer Gustav and Schwerer Dora
guns, which weighed in at 1,350 tons and fired a huge 7-ton shell.
This book provides an overview of the types of railway guns in
service during World War II, with a special focus on the German
railway artillery used in France, Italy and on the Eastern Front,
and analyzes why railway guns largely disappeared from use
following the end of the war.
