    Explanation: In WW2, Nazi Germany had a tendency to pursue some outlandish weapon designs whose utility was… much less than their development cost. Many were approved directly by Adolf Hitler or his inner circle of drugged-up cronies, since even the infamously impractical German brass wouldn’t approve of half these projects for the simple reason that they were idiotic.

      I mean, it could’ve been uh… interesting if that gun ever managed to barage London with giant shells before D-day. Not that it was ever particularly feasible, but it would’ve been quite the story.

    Not sure if this is the Schwerer Gustav, but …

    Crew: 250 to assemble the gun in 3 days (54 hours), 2,500 to lay track and dig embankments. 2 flak battalions to protect the gun from air attack
