The Soviet B-4 special-power howitzer with a caliber of 203.2 mm (8 in) was developed in 1931. The howitzer could fire shells weighing more than 100 kg at a distance of almost 18 km. The weight of the gun was 19 tons in transport position. A special caterpillar carriage was developed - a large tracked bearing surface prevented the howitzer from sinking into the ground, and the strong carriage withstood the powerful recoil during firing. The first combat use of the B-4 took place during the Soviet-Finnish War of 1939-40, when it was used to destroy Finnish concrete DOTs. The Finns nicknamed the gun “Stalin's Sledgehammer”. Then the howitzer went through the entire Great Patriotic War. The gun was successfully used in storming fortresses and in battles on the streets of large German cities.
