The Krupp family in German had a idea about a gun which is trasporting in a railway. This idea was interested by Nazis.
Lets take a look to this giant weapon's features. The Gustav gun was done by in ten years. (1930-1940) The aim of the project was to destroy enemy positions in the range of the 38-48 km.
At that time there was not a proper enginee for moving this giant gun which it had 1350 tonne magnitude. The railways were buit in order to move the Gustav.
