Found an interesting site about the leopold......

also saw a picture in a book today about a gun at Calais i think, bigger than a leopold / K5. Didnt have time to look at it but think it said it had a crew of either 200 or 2000. (probably 200) anybody know the name of this beast?

This the 800mm Dora gun. Used only at the siege of Stevastopol. It was too slow and difficult to set up to use it in any other battle. Here's a link: http://palpatine.chez.tiscali.fr/Page13/page13.htm

I think I read (or heard) that the Dora hit a Russia ammo bunker during the siege that was like 100 feet underground.

Big rascal.
