My dad was at Cassino. He spoke with respect of the german soldiers who were at Cassino.
Now they are showing the German rail guns hitting Anzio.
Those were a big part of what my old prof. talked about.
He said that he had a freaky experience when, after the war, he was sent
stateside to some Army base.
He said he nearly thought he was going insane because he started hearing
again the sound of the rail guns.
Turned out our army had transported one to the base my prof was in stateside.
I guess the gun was studied partly for artillery purpose and for future
space work due to the height the shells could reach.
