Hey hey hey. Germany also had not just a big gun, but a really really big gun. On a rail car.

Also, to nitpick needlessly, fission isn't a portable star. H bombs, developed after WWII ended, are portable stars. But I love the meme anyway.

A bombs, H bombs, same mouthfeel.

Also nitpick, the reallx really big gun was on two rails

To nitpick some more, at least one of the nukes really was just a very odd kind of gun.

"A rail....car? Line?" I was half right.
