38-cm-SK C/34

38 cm Schiffskanone Construktionsjahr 1934
One of the best works of the 2. world war that stood out in particular, the rate of fire. They are often considered as the improved version of the cannon which were armed ships of class Bayern. But in reality, it was a completely new type of cannon which the services received up to the year 1939. Cannon were used on ships, Bismarck and Tirpitz, as its use in the rearmament of the Gneisenau out of the 280 mm guns, and as the main armament for the ships project "About". In addition, they were planned for coastal defense in a modified version known as Siegfried. The most famous battery works on behalf of Todt were placed close to the Haringzelles and served to defend the Dover straits in the area of Pas – de – Calais, where the nazis expected the invasion. Battery Todt had 4 cannons. Other batteries should be placed in Oxsby, Denmark (4 cannons, not completed by the end of the war), Hanstead, Denmark (4 guns) and in Kristiansundu, Norway (3 guns)..
