EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the rear view of a Krupp 150 mm field gun at Mehun sur Yevre, a small town in central France, during the final months of the First World War. The gun, manufactured in 1917, is a testament to the industrial might and military prowess of the German Empire during the Great War. The image, taken in August 1918, depicts the gun in its battle-worn state, with rusted metal and faded paint, reflecting the harsh conditions it had endured on the Western Front. The Krupp 150 mm field gun was a formidable weapon, capable of firing a 150 mm projectile over a distance of 12,000 meters. Its powerful blast was a constant threat to Allied forces, and its deployment was a significant factor in the prolonged stalemate that characterized the war. The gun's rear view reveals the intricate machinery and complex engineering that went into its design and manufacture. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of war and the human ingenuity that was marshaled to wage it.
