Interesting – I’d never heard that the French had a WWI-era railway gun that was used by the Germans in WWII. Just from a theoretical viewpoint, however, I doubt that it could have been used to intentionally target Red Navy ships or even shore facilities; guns of that type probably weren’t accurate enough to hit anything specific within a city-sized target. It was probably used for general-purpose shelling during the siege of the city, to add to the overall misery of the population.
Random COOL photo! WW2 armies issued Paper Models

Wow! A german tank crew building a KV-1 model. It even looks fun to play with! See the link with more information about the model these guys are building.
I wonder… if any of those “paper models” survive today?
