EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense focus and determination of two German gunners as they prepare to load and fire a Paris Gun projectile during the First World War. The Paris Gun, also known as the Emperor William Gun, was a long-range siege weapon designed and manufactured by the German armaments company Krupp. It was first fired from the forest of Coucy on 21 March 1918, marking the beginning of a campaign to bombard Paris with large caliber shells. The gun could fire projectiles over great distances, with some reaching as far as 140 kilometers (87 miles) from the German front lines. The impact of the Paris Gun on the city was significant, with the first shell landing on the Quai du Seine and causing widespread panic. Over the following months, approximately 300 shells were fired, at a rate of about 20 per day. The gunners in this photograph are seen carefully handling the large projectiles, a testament to the precision and logistical challenges involved in the operation. The Paris Gun was a formidable weapon of war, and its use against Paris during the final stages of World War 1 remains a fascinating chapter in the history of military technology.
