greatwar-1914: A map showing where shells from the Paris Gun fell in the French capital. The German super-heavy weapon shelled Paris between March and August 1918, killing 256 Parisians. The shells flew so far and high that the gunners had to take the rotation of the Earth into their calculations. The gun was dismantled and destroyed by the retreating Germans on August 9, 1918. -- source link
