It is fired from a turntable affording a 360 degree traverse. The gun consists of two hydro pneumatic cylinders and a single hydraulic buffer cylinder. A central jack helps support the tremendous weight of the gun and carriage. The German Leopold Gun was the largest weapon, which lobbed shells at American troops at \u201c Anzio Beach \u201d. When not firing, the gun was rolled back into the tunnels out of the sight of Allied reconnaissance. Although both guns had been extensively damaged, Allied forces were able to salvage the Leopold and after reconstruction of the railway, moved the gun to Naples for shipment to the United States . The Leopold is currently on display at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Aberdeen , Maryland.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Parament<br \/>\nItem No \u00a0 \u00a082903<br \/>\nItem Name \u00a0 \u00a0German 280mm K5(E) Railway Gun Leopold<br \/>\nBar Code \u00a0 \u00a06939319229038<br \/>\nScale \u00a0 \u00a01:72<br \/>\nItem Type \u00a0 \u00a0Static kit<br \/>\nModel Dimension \u00a0 \u00a0Length: 445mm \u00a0 Width: 46.8mm \u00a0 Height:73.2mm<br \/>\nTotal Plastic Parts \u00a0 \u00a0316pcs<br \/>\nTotal Sprues \u00a0 \u00a011 sprues<br \/>\nCamouflage Scheme \u00a0 \u00a0Available in Reichsbahn grey, sand\/brown, or sand camouflage<br \/>\nReleased Date \u00a0 \u00a02008-01<br \/>\nMore Features There are 316 parts in light grey plastic, in 500mm length railway track for model display<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0After the NSDAP come to power in 1933 the German military began a major rearmament program and on the list of weapons needed were modern railway guns.
