@Weston1968 We did NOT beat the Germans. The Soviets did. 80% of the German forces were destroyed by the Red Army. Operation Barbarossa was a disaster for Germany. They attacked the largest country in the world without having 4 engine, long range strategic bombers like the B-17 and the B-29!! I do not know what Hitler was smoking.
@shasha1873 I meant we as in the allies! And yes your right the Russians swayed the balance when it came to a complete allied victory. But then again they did make the the largest sacrifice in the War as well.
The major problem for this weapon was that you required total air superiority to use it. It's lack of mobility would make it easy meat for a squadron of fighter bombers. Awesome yes, but not very practical.
@2004DAZZA Just in case u got air domination , what a huge psychological weapon too .... receiving 230-800 mm shells on the head must be one of the biggest nightmare to live :(
Probably the best 8 minutes and 23 seconds of life, nothing better than being at the base WW2 artillery German gun, I wish I could marry one... LOL.

@Weston1968 That is very true. Their sacrifice was insane.

I think the only 800 mm gun ever to be used in combat was Gustav .

@ex59neo53 I think you are right. It was in Sevastopol.

@shasha1873 And it did a "real good" job ... but too big , too hard to use ... and without air domination ... too easy target .

@ex59neo53 That is correct. Those were the conditions.
