Gustav (name)
Gustav, also spelled Gustaf (pronounced or in English; for both spellings), is a male given name of Old Swedish origin, used mainly in Scandinavian countries, German-speaking countries, and the Low Countries. The origin of the name is debated. The name was first recorded in 1225 in Västergötland, Sweden, in the Latin form . Other 13th-century variants include ''Gødstaui'', ''Gøstaf'' and ''Gøzstaf'' . Linguistic Otto von Friesen suggested that it may derive from a byname meaning "staff of the Geats, Göta people" or "support of the (Väst)göta people". Another theory speculates that the name is of Medieval Slavic peoples, Slavic origin, from ''Gostislav'', a compound word meaning "glorious guest", derived from the Slavic words ("guest") and ("glory"), and was adopted by migrating groups north and west into Germany and Scandinavia. This name has been borne by eight Monarch of Sweden, kings of Sweden, starting from Gustav Vasa in the 16th century and including the curren ...

Schwerer Gustav
Schwerer Gustav (English: ''Heavy Gustav'') was a German railway gun. It was developed in the late 1930s by Krupp in Rügenwalde as siege artillery for the explicit purpose of destroying the main forts of the French Maginot Line, the strongest fortifications in existence at the time. The fully assembled gun weighed nearly and could fire shells weighing to a range of . The gun was designed in preparation for the Battle of France but was not ready for action when that battle began, and the Wehrmacht offensive through Belgium rapidly outflanked and isolated the Maginot Line, which was then besieged with more conventional heavy guns until French capitulation. Gustav was later deployed in the Soviet Union during the Battle of Sevastopol, part of Operation Barbarossa, where, among other things, it destroyed a munition depot located roughly below sea level. The gun was moved to Leningrad, and may have been intended to be used in the Warsaw Uprising like other German heavy siege ...
