Big Bertha (German: Dicke Bertha, lit. `Fat (or heavy) Bertha`) is the name of a type of super-heavy siege artillery developed by the armaments manufacturer Krupp in Germany and used in World Wars I and II. Its official designation was the L/12, Type M-Ger?t 14 (M-Equipment 1914) Kurze Marine-Kanone ("short naval gun", a name intended to conceal the weapon`s real purpose). Its barrel diameter calibre was 420 mm (16.5 in)

The howitzer was mainly designed by Krupp`s Director of design, Professor Fritz Rausenberger, and his predecessor, Director Max Dreger (1852–1929). Many sources say that Bertha is a reference to Bertha Krupp, heiress and owner of the Krupp industrial empire. ("Dicke", meaning fat or thick in German, is apparently not a reference to the physical aspect of Mrs. Krupp.) However, not all accept this connection,[5] and the Germans gave numerous other nicknames to the M-Device.
The name "Big Bertha" subsequently came to be applied generically by the Allies to any very large German gun, such as the railway-mounted battleship guns known as "Langer Max" and the ultra-long range "Paris Gun"; although strictly speaking, Dicke Bertha, or Big Bertha, is only applicable to the 420-mm M-Ger?t howitzer.
