Nice set up !
This is in Dresden, right ?

The cap on shell is a new addition, i think it was originally found without one.


thanks for showing


Zünder,

Yep, its Dresden. I wonder were they put the large armor plate that was penetrated by this caliber as it was not in exhibition this time.

I remember a story about the seige of Linningrad one of these monsters landed in a nearby lake and blew up a Russian ammo dump that was mined under the lake. It was just pure luck where the errant shell landed.
