Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. This book presents the history of the second largest arms manufacturer in Europe, the Skoda Works, and of those of its heavy guns that were transported in an innovative and unique way - gasoline-electrical trains. Developed at the beginning of the World War I, both the guns and their mode of transportation were so progressive and efficient that they fought not only in the Great War, but in the Second World War as well. If artillery is the queen of the battlefield, then heavy guns are her crown jewels. The Skoda heavy
guns were the pride of the Austro-Hungarian Army and served with distinction for thirty years, from destroying the French and Italian fortresses in the
First World War, to being a scourge of the Maginot line, Leningrad and Sevastopol in the Second World War.
