During the First World War both the Central Powers and the Allies developed ever larger and heavier artillery such as the famous German ‘Big Bertha’, a 42 cm siege howitzer built by Krupp AG. The Austro-Hungarian army used this 38 cm ‘Belagerungshaubitze’ (siege howitzer) M 16 to crush enemy fortifications. The latge guns were designed and produced by Skoda Works Ltd. from Plzen and first saw action against the Italian army in South Tyrol. To be used these guns had to be mounted on a firing platform, so large that it required a 52 cubic meter pit to excavated. The howitzers even had a special system to load its ammunition shells: a tilting crane left of the turntable could lift the shells from the loading cart to the loading tray. After the Armistice of Villa Giusti (3 november 1918) the guns fell silent. The end of First World War I with the ultimate surrender and defeat of the Central Powers meant the collapse and disestablishment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire which had been slowly falling apart for decades, torn apart by the rise of Nationalism. @hgm_wien #heeresgeschichtlichesmuseum #heeresgeschichtlichesmuseumwien #armymuseumvienna #armymuseum #artillery #siegeartillery #howitzer #siegehowitzer #firstworldwar #worldwar1 #war #army #militaryhistory #warhistory #armyhistory #haubitze #belagerungshaubitze #skoda (bij Heeresgeschichtliches Museum / Militärhistorisches Institut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1BqVtyFtaC/?igshid=1apb3guld6235

The First World War was the first major armed conflict that saw large scale deployment of aircraft. Not only for reconnaissance but also for aerial battles and bombardments. All major powers developed their own airforce. The ‘Kaiserliche und Königliche Luftfahrtruppen’ of Austria-Hungary used this Albatros B.I as a reconnaissance aircraft during the first years of the war. The plane was manufactured by ‘Albatros Flugzeugwerke GmbH’ from Germany and had been designed in 1913. The First World War saw rapid developments in technology: the Albatros B.I was quickly replaced by the B.II. The B.I was withdrawn from frontline service in 1915 but some were retained as training airplane. @hgm_wien #heeresgeschichtlichesmuseum #heeresgeschichtlichesmuseumwien #armymuseumvienna #armymuseum #aircraft #militaryaircraft #plane #airplane #flugzeug #albatros #albatrosflugzeugwerke #wordwar1 #firstworldwar #history #militaryhistory #armyhistory (bij Heeresgeschichtliches Museum / Militärhistorisches Institut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Bj3iRFDec/?igshid=qwq6qwae088v

This 24 cm siege mortar (mod.1898) was used by the Austro-Hungarian army during the First World War. Not only on the main Austrian frontlines fighting the armies of Serbia, Russia and Italy, but also aiding their Ottoman Turkish allies at Gallipoli and at the Palestinian front. After the Austro-Prussian war of 1866, in which Austria faced a humiliating defeat, the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy was established ending over 400 years of Austrian dominance over Hungary. The empire’s armed forces saw very little action for the next 5 decades. Their only major deployment was during the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878, which had been stipulated by the Treaty of Berlin that ended the Russo-Ottoman war of 1877-78. As of 1866 the armies were led by Archduke Albrecht of Austria, Duke of Teschen (1817-1895), first as ‘Oberkommandeur’ and later as Inspector General. His conservative leadership (until 1895) prohibited any true modernisation of the army and its equipment. This siege mortar was produced by Skoda Works Ltd. from Plzen for the armies of Austria-Hungary. It was the first modern piece of artillery, operating by barrel recoil and made of steel, developed in Austria-Hungary after 1895. @hgm_wien #heeresgeschichtlichesmuseum #heeresgeschichtlichesmuseumwien #armymuseumvienna #armymuseum #artillery #siegemortar #howitzer #army #austriahungary #dualmonarchy #skoda #worldwar1 #firstworldwar #war #army #vienna #wien (bij Heeresgeschichtliches Museum / Militärhistorisches Institut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1BgH6kFJKf/?igshid=p66tdmmsbohw
