That must be a German gun, which we captured and brought back here. But I cannot think of where it is kept?
Not so. The Schwerer Gustav and its two siblings were destroyed at the end of WW-II, or shortly thereafter. Their histories are described in this Wikipedia article. It's a lengthy read, but interesting from both military and engineering perspectives.
She said it was at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds. I believe it has since been moved to Fort Lee just south of Richmond, VA. I saw it from Highway 36 last year.

I will keep searching to see if I can find it.
This looks more like it but can't get street view of it. https://www.google.com/maps/place/F...7894fceae7124e!8m2!3d37.2489537!4d-77.3381855 You can almost read "Leopold" on the side in this "3D" view.
