Big Bertha

Any of four large German howitzer guns that were mounted on railway wagons during World War I.

The guns were scrapped after the Battle of Verdun 1916, since by then they were out-ranged by most Allied heavy artillery. The guns were named after the wife of the manufacturer, Gustav Krupp.
