Description of  German Railroad Guns in Action (Squadron Signal 2015)

This volume in Squadron's "In Action" series provides a handy reference on German railroad artillery in the Second World War. The volume includes 76 excellent B/W photos, 12 line drawings and 7 color illustrations. Although brief, the volume does manage to cover a wide range of weapons, including German 15 cm, 17 cm, 20 cm, 21 cm, 24 cm, 28 cm and 80 cm guns, as well as captured French 30 cm, 32 cm, 34 cm and 37 cm railroad guns. Readers should particularly enjoy the coverage on the 80 cm "Dora" gun (biggest artillery piece ever made) and the lethal 28 cm K-5 "Anzio Annie" guns.
