The 305 mm howitzer M1939 (Br-18) (Russian: 305-мм гаубица образца 1939 года (Бр-18)) was a Czech superheavy siege howitzer used by the Soviet Union during World War II. After the Germans occupied Czechoslovakia in March 1939 they took over the Škoda Works which had been working on this design and a companion 210 mm gun. As a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact the Germans sold both designs to the Soviet Union.
