Langer Max - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Langer Max

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Langer Max (long Max) was a World War I German cannon officially called 38cm SKL/45. They were originally designed as naval guns for the German Bayern class battleships, but after the suspension of SMS Sachsen and SMS Wurttenburg several were used as heavy land artillery on the Western Front. Also called Max E, the gun's (supporting) barrel and railway transportable carriage was used in the famed Paris Gun. Some guns were also emplaced in the Pommern Costal battery on the Flanders coast protecting occupied Ostende.

The first salvo from two of these guns commenced the first massive German artillery bombardment during the Battle of Verdun.
