Hi all! :)

What do we know about the sort of ammunition the Germans would have been using in this gun around 1941?

Hi all,

I found on Wikipedia this image of a 15cm K16 (according to photocaption the image was taken in Middle East :? )

I never had seen a barrel trailer with this type of wheels. They are much thinner than usual WW1 wheels.
There are also some other minor differences.

Any idea?? :? :?

So the Ottomans got a few of these guns? I was not aware of that. Could the town be either Damascus or Beirut?

ok, so I went to that site;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:15_cm ... _15119.jpg
and the gun was called Nablus Lizzy.
In the back on the picture there appear to be a couple of Krupp 75mm guns, must be Turkish.
So was Lizzy serving with the Turks or with a German or Austrian crew?
