Самый тяжёлый монстр войны: немецкий Карл и шестьсот миллиметров страха!

The heaviest monster of the war: the German Karl and six hundred millimeters of terror. This video tells the detailed story of the super-heavy self-propelled mortar Karl, a 124-ton giant with a 600 mm caliber barrel, which the Germans created as the ultimate weapon for breaching any fortress. You'll learn why this monster was born, how it was designed, why servicing one such gun was more difficult than servicing an entire regiment, how it unsuccessfully pounded the armor of Sevastopol in 1942, and how its inglorious combat career ended, ending in the hands of the Red Army in April 1945. This is the story of how the most formidable artillery piece of World War II was unable to break the courage of the defenders of their homeland.
