Description

Canon de 194 mle GPF (Grand Puissance Filloux)
OR
19.4cm Kanone 485 (f) auf Selbstfahrlafette

A pioneering self-propelled artillery piece built by the French in World War I, and used in the opening stages of World War 2 by the French (maybe) and the Germans (definitely). Enough were captured to put into service in the Wehrmacht, hence the two designations

Taken at the Army Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
