If it helps, the RR gun vanished at the same moment that 3 of the 4 GER divisions that had retreated were overrun in an adjacent province by FRA divisions coming from a different direction. Nothing happened in the RR gun's province at that moment.
It's possible it was destroyed, but more probably it was damaged: either you capturing it or Germany could have it in production queue, until repair is done.
 
By switching tags, I was able to determine that GER's RR gun count is down from 3 to 2; I have 3. Was able to locate them all, none have the same name as the one of interest. IDK what 'repair' would look like; if it would be on map like a ship, it's not there. GER has a RR gun under production, but that also has a different name. Does all this mean it was destroyed, or is their some other way to locate a damaged RR gun?

So I still have the same Q: How is a RR gun damaged or destroyed? The wiki doesn't say. The dev diary mentions just one way to damage a RR gun, namely damage to the rail it is sitting on. GER's construction queue shows 1 level of damage to RRs in that state starting 3 days before, but no increased damage after that. (All 3 of my RR guns are in states with RR damage, one of them in the same state.)

I mean this production queue: you might find RR gun there, sorry I can't reproduce it in a few minutes but have seen it.

Oh, the construction queue. Turned out the GER construction queue was corrupt--120 civs available but not one assigned to do anything. Restarting HoI 4 fixed that, but there is no RR gun in the queue.
Mmm, still trying to make the point, and came to an issue where the RR gun is still German but behind enemy lines. Impossible to capture it...

That is the same province where my issue happened. You think this could be a map issue?
04:00 is the hour when the gun disappeared.

Then maybe you report a bug and I'll concur. It can't be normal game behavior.

Edit: I opened one here:

All of your attached save game files seem to be flawed. I cannot download them nor can I detach them. The files only provide game text readable in my browser which crashes the browser with an error message "out of memory". This has never happened to me when accessing other HOI4 save game files posted on this forum.

Browsers seem to not be good at rendering such large text files. Right click>Download should work though. This is just the text variant of save files by the way (the first line says "HOI4txt"). It is a bit slower to save and larger but makes it easier to inspect and fix things if necessary; I'm always using it.

The typical right click and download was not offered as a choice. Are you able to download any of the files and what browser are you using?

The AAT Q&A was with Peter Nicholson (@Arheo) and Bradley Faithfull-Wright. What is Mr Faithfull-Wright's forum name? Might as well as free up a brain slot by putting the face to a name that I already know.
 
Three questions about MODs.
  1. When I launch HoI4 executable directly (neither through launcher nor via Steam) does the engine automatically loads all MODs available?
  2. If all mods are loaded automatically are they enabled for all saves I load afterwards whether the save was originally done with or without MOD?
  3. Is there a console command to see what MODs are loaded? If there is none can I use get_var or list_flags and look for MOD specific data? Does get_var report a variable non existing or it still returns some default uninitialized value even for vars that have not been created?

The launcher just creates a config file. The game will load whatever mods were enabled last.
I don't know if a console command exists, but I would check the generated config. From memory I think it is dlc_load.json or something like that

When does the Soviet guarantee on Communist China expire? I wanted to eliminate them after winning the war against Japan, but just before declaring, I realized there was a guarantee. I took the United Front path.
