Historical Background

The Morser Karl-Gerät 040 was a unique self-propelled mortar-howitzer with a 600 mm caliber developed by Germany for the Wehrmacht. Only a few units of this weapon were created, serving during World War II, especially during the Siege of Sevastopol and the Warsaw Uprising. Their tremendous firepower and ability to demolish fortifications became a hallmark of military innovation between 1941–1945. The Morser KARL was used on both the Eastern and Western fronts, mainly by Germany.
