A German gun aimer protects his ears as a Morser 18 21cm gun fires towards the British lines from its field position east of the River Orne. This heavy artillery piece could fire a 113kg shell a maximum distance of 18,700 metres. The difficulty in transporting a gun of this size made it vulnerable to allied spotter aircraft and counter battery fire.
