EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an intriguing collection of projectiles and cartridges from the German Paris Gun, also known as the Emperor William Gun, used during the final stages of World War I. Manufactured by the renowned German armaments firm Krupp, this long-range siege gun made its debut on March 21, 1918, with the first shell landing on the Quai du Seine in Paris. The explosion from the gun was heard across the city, marking the beginning of a series of attacks that continued until August, with an estimated 300 shells fired at a rate of approximately 20 per day. In this image, we see a 100kg shell, an additional cartridge, a fore cartridge, and a Hulsen cartridge. The Hulsen cartridge, specifically, was a unique feature of the Paris Gun, designed to provide an extra boost to the projectile's range and velocity. The Paris Gun was a significant development in artillery technology during the Great War, with its long-range capabilities posing a significant threat to Allied forces. The photograph serves as a fascinating reminder of the technological innovations and the far-reaching impact of the weapons used during this pivotal moment in world history.
