A special derrick on the gun car hoists the big shells to the gun breech for charging, July 27, 1939. German sources described the shell as ?nearly as tall as a man and nearly 660 pounds,? as compared with ?expert guesses? that the world war ?big bertha? fired a 260-pound shell. Observers estimate Germany is spending 60 percent of her national budget in preparation for war-about $4,500,000,000 in 1939 and $100,000,000 less in 1938. (AP Photo)
