Hello,
I Have a Question that I’ve tried my best to research but can’t seem to find a clear answer. Which gun did the Germans use to fire the 34cm Rochling shells (34 cm Rö. Gr. 42 Be.)? The two possibilities are below:
1. 34cm K-Gl-(E) 673(f) - 34 cm Kanone (Eisenbahn) in Gleitlafette 673(f) Canon de 340 modèle 1912 à glissement
2. 34cm K-W-(E) 674(f) - 34 cm Kanone (Eisenbahn) in Wiegenlafette 674(f) Canon de 340 modèle 1912 à berceau
It seems most sources call out number 2 but then I saw a French site: https://derelicta.pagesperso-orange.fr/aubin.htm that seems to indicate it may have actually been number 1. Does anyone know or could point me in the right direction? Many thanks!
Bill
34cm Rochling (f)
Re: 34cm Rochling (f)
Thanks so much for this Jopaerya. It seems it must have been the 674. I was seeing this info in most spots but this article written by well known authors threw me off: https://derelicta.pagesperso-orange.fr/aubin3.htm
