B-4 203mm howitzer – summer (Soviet)

Description

The monstrous B-4 (also called “Stalin’s Sledgehammer” by the Germans) was a Soviet 203mm heavy howitzer of World War II. Initially deployed against the Mannerheim Line during the Winter War with Finland, it was also fielded to devastating effect during the Battle of Berlin where it was levelled against German fortifications.

Over 1000 B-4s were produced and number were captured by the Wehrmacht and put into use on the Eastern Front. The tracked carriage allowed for good movement over rough terrain and also removed the need for a stabilising platform – the B-4 could simply stop and fire without any additional rigging or support.
