Great photos! Thanks for posting them. Surprisng all the stuff that is still found almost a hundred years laler. I think I read somewhere that if you lined up all the 18 pdrs the British fired, it would go round the earth twice at the equater. War is really costly to both men's lives and in resources turned into pollution.

Kz11gr,

The projo on the right is a German 28cm Psgr L/2,6 Bdz. There were 3 types, HE, HE/practice and practice. The HE version weighed 240kg with an NEQ of only 4 kg. The HE was contained in 3 blocks and initiated with a base fuze

The middle projo is a German 28cm Spgr L/2,5 m Bdz. This projo was HE containing 3.5kg of TNT.

The projo on the left looks to be a German 28cm Gr.12, base fuzed and containing 52kg of TNT.

Thank you for these indications.

Do you think , that the caliber could be 21cm ?
