21cm Camouflage Captured Guns Howitzer Howitzers Paint War Time Weapons Ww 1
EDITORS COMMENTS
November 1918: The End of the Great War - Captured German 21cm Howitzers Amidst the muddy fields of Northern France, the guns of the First World War fell silent as the Armistice was signed on November 11, 1918. In the aftermath of the brutal conflict, Allied forces surveyed the battlefields, documenting their hard-won victories through photographs. This painting, captured from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts a scene of captured German 21cm howitzers, a formidable weapon used extensively during the war. The 21cm howitzer, also known as a 21-centimeter morser or moerser in German, was a large-caliber artillery piece that could fire high-explosive shells over long distances. Its powerful blast was feared by soldiers on both sides of the front lines. As the Allied forces advanced, they often encountered these formidable guns abandoned on the battlefield or hidden in camouflaged positions. In this painting, we see a group of these captured German howitzers, their once menacing presence now reduced to a static display. The guns, still adorned with their original camouflage, are surrounded by the remnants of war - broken trees, torn flags, and discarded equipment. The scene is a poignant reminder of the devastation wrought by the weapons of war and the ultimate futility of the conflict. As the world entered a new era of peace, the captured German howitzers served as a testament to the cost of war and the determination of the Allied forces to bring an end to the hostilities. The painting offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world held its breath, waiting for the guns to fall silent once and for all.
