For the first time ever, compare the British and German World War II big guns duelling with each other and harrying shipping in the Channel.

One of the longest-running battles of World War II took place across the English Channel, in which huge artillery guns attempted to destroy each other, created psychological terror among the local inhabitants on the opposing shores of the Dover Strait, and harassed shipping of both sides over a four-year period.

For the first time, this work provides a comparative examination of the array of powerful weapons located on both sides of the Channel. The layout and armament of the fixed gun batteries are explored in stunning artworks, and significant attention is also given to British and German railway artillery (including the German K-12 gun, and the British 'Boche Buster') and the bunkers used to protect them from enemy attack.

Construction, targeting technology, counter-battery fire and the tactics each side used to try to silence the deadly weapons of the other are also covered in full detail, and the locations of all the major sites around Dover and Calais are shown on easy to follow maps.
