Historical accounts are sadly anything but objective, and Napoleon had a point when he said that history is written by the victor. Caligula was not the insane Tyrant that we see in pop culture, but dear god did the man have an ego and one hell of a hate-boner for the senate, although their role in his family's exile and death certainly gave him a degree of justification for said animosity.

I present to you the first of three parts of the 12.8cm “Zwilling” German AAA

The whole thing is consists of 2 128cm Flak guns on rotating platform and were for the most part mounted on the Flak Towers that guarded Berlin against Bombing Raids

By the end of the war, only 34 were built

These are the times that try men's souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
