Krupp’s

This famous cannon foundry, where most of the engines of war employed by the German nation are manufactured, is situated in Essen, a town in the Rhenish Prussian coalfields. In 1848, when the business was founded, there were employed only 74 men – today they number an army of over 60,000 – sixty thousand men engaged in the manufacture of death-dealing instruments of war for the great European War Lord.
