History of the Russian 203mm howitzer BT-4

The Howitzer 203mm howitzer was a Soviet 203mm (8in) heavy howitzer.
It was nicknamed "Stalin's sledgehammer" by German soldiers. Its distinguishing features were the two crawler tracks that enabled it to move over soft snow, unlike other weapons which were almost impossible to move in such conditions.

This weapon was used right up to the end of the war in the Battle of Berlin, and especially in the Battle of Berlin, where it was easy to destroy buildings and reduce them to rubble.
