180-mm gun

180-mm gun

In July 1944, during the Finnish retreat, the 180 mm battery came under attack by Soviet aviation and two guns were damaged. After the war, the Finns tried to hide the guns and keep them for themselves, but the ubiquitous Allied Commission found the guns and ordered the return. Thus, three guns arrived in Leningrad.
