EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment during the First World War as German gunners carefully prepare their 15cm Model 13 heavy field howitzer for action. Designed and manufactured by the renowned German engineering firm Krupp, this powerful artillery piece was a key component of the German army's arsenal during the Great War. The gunners are seen here in the midst of camouflaging their weapon, covering it with foliage to blend in with the surrounding terrain. The 15cm Model 13 was a formidable weapon, capable of firing a 45.5 kg shell up to 11,000 meters. Its long range and heavy firepower made it an essential asset in the field, and it saw extensive use on both the Eastern and Western Fronts. The men in this photograph are focused and determined, their faces set with the intensity of soldiers who know the weight of the responsibility they bear. The 15cm Model 13 was a complex piece of machinery, requiring a skilled team to operate effectively. The gunners are dressed in heavy coats and woolen caps, a testament to the harsh conditions they faced in the trenches. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of war time artillery, where precision, teamwork, and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances were essential. The 15cm Model 13 was a symbol of German military might during the First World War, and this image serves as a poignant reminder of the men who operated these powerful weapons and the sacrifices they made in the name of their country.
