aconnolly Posted 14 January , 2009 Share Posted 14 January , 2009 Pals Can anyone recommend good books or diagrams on the actual mechanics/workings/size of German artillery pieces? Particularly after details of: L/12 42cm Type M – Gerat, ("Big Bertha") and the 21cm Morser 10”, or 210mm mobile mortar. Thanks Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLW Posted 4 April , 2009 Share Posted 4 April , 2009 Hi Andrew. I too have the same question. I recently bought Herbert Jager's "German Artillery of World War One." Touted as the best recent book on German artillery, it is filled with useful information, but is short on technical details. I hope to be going to the US Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in the near future to peruse their small archive in search of anything thy may have about the M model 42cm howitzer that was once in their possession. If I find anything of note, I will post it here. Regards, Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
