	Krupp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		After Germany's defeat, when Gustav proved incapable of going on trial, the U.S. Nuremberg Military Tribunal convicted Alfried as a war criminal (in the so-called "Krupp Trial") for his company's use of slave labor.
		Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, born August 7 1870, died in Austria on January 16 1950, was indicted at the Nuremberg Trials but never tried, due to his advanced dementia.
		He, like his father Gustav helped rearm Nazi Germany and was tried at Nuremberg (although not in the Nuremburg trials themselves) after the war and convicted for the use of forced labor, marked by brutality the judges found to be exceptional even under Nazism.

	World Affairs Board - The greatest GIANT guns ever built...
		Schwerer Gustav was broken down and moved by rail, when set up, it was on a special set of dual rail/multi-truck cars.
		Gustav was indeed a monumental waste of manpower, material etc but like the other people on the board, I happen to love it too :)
		Krupp's engineers started to work on Gustav in 1937 (!) but it was 3 years before test-firing and another 2 years before completed weapons were actually assembled.

	80cm railroad-gun "Dora"
		For combat, the gun was mounted on a special chassis, which in turn was supported by two special bogies, each with 20 axles and straddling 2 sets of rails.
		Krupp christened the gun "Schwerer Gustav" (Heavy Gustav), its namesake being the senior director of the firm.
		Yet this was to be equipped with a 52 cm barrel of 48 metres in length (the gun was going to be called "Langer Gustav" (Long Gustav)), which could fire rocket-assisted shells.

	new artillery (LOTS of pics) - FileFront Gaming Forums
		I'm pretty sure it was either a modified Karl (they add longer barrels on one of them) or the Schwerer Gustav.
		Seems like the Russians captured the Dora while the Gustav was blown up by the Germans so the Americans didn't captured it.
		A bit complicated to put all that in game, specially because of the team coordination it would require, and because everyody would want to be who fires that shit.

	History of Science: Historical Entries
		Although he is best known today for the burner that bears his name, Bunsen was a sought-after teacher and pioneer in many fields: organic chemistry, arsenic compounds, the measurement and analysis of gases, the development of galvanic batteries (there was actually a “Bunsen battery”), and, especially, elemental spectroscopy.
		Bunsen and Gustav Kirchoff developed the first chemical spectrometer, and it was this pursuit that necessitated the creation of the Bunsen burner.
		There is some question about the origin of the basic design of the burner—it appears that Michael Faraday actually invented a very similar burner before Bunsen—but it was certainly Bunsen who refined and popularized it.

		But you have to ask if $89.98 for a 1/144 model is it worth it?
		Only one 80cm-Kanone[E] Dora railway gun, later called the Schwerer Gustav, was built by Krupp Works.
		Design work began in 1937 and construction was completed by 1942, resulting in the most massive cannon ever developed, weighing in at 1,4880 tons, or over half the weight of a US Fletcher-class destroyer.
