Hi all,

I found this image on EBay. The image was taken in North Africa.
I guess a british naval heavy shell, as there were not super heavy field artillery deployed in North Africa

Any idea?

Looks like 8,8 cm Pzgr.Patr. m. Bd.Z. indeed. It could be for 8,8 cm Flak L/56 or 8,8 cm Kw.K 36.

I remember this photo - is one of few showing K5 so it's 28cm.

Did Brunos (24cm) used special wagon for delivery cartouches and shells?
Hmm as far as I know: no, only typical ammo wagon (Guterwagen)
