One day before, April 30th, 915.
General Erik von Xiplin, the Army Group Commander, was inspecting the railway gun position that had been fully deployed.
He had to tilt his head back to see the muzzle of the Gustav mega cannon.
Xiplin, "Can this thing really work?"
The Major General in charge of the cannon replied, "If it can't work, you can only hope for Fritz bombs from the Air Force."
"Good heavens, it's better that it works," General Xiplin looked around and finally settled his gaze on the number two tank that was on the support frame of the cannon, "Why does the cannon have a number two tank on its back?"
The Major General explained, "Because the tractor we used to push the shells into the breech broke, and the large tractor for resetting the cannon can't be mounted on it, so we used the number two tank with its turret removed to take on the task, as it fits perfectly."
General Xiplin frowned, "How big are the shells that you need a tank to push them?"
