The 42 cm Gamma Mörser as it was known in World War II or originally kurze Marinekanone L/16 (short naval gun with 16-caliber barrel) was a German siege howitzer. It was one in a series of super-heavy siege guns developed by Krupp before World War I. During the war the gun was used to attack fortresses in Belgium France and Poland. The sole howitzer that survived World War I was used in World War II to attack the Maginot Line and the fortress of Sevastopol.
