Thanks Stan,

Very nice and crisp shot.

Could this be 15-cm-Kanone 16 mit vereinfachter Unterlafette; In my eyes the trail end looks straighter and the spade different from e.g. the one pictured at http://www.lovettartillery.com/MAT_15cm ... etail.html

Hi all,

An image dated in 1928. I think the camo paint is yet from WW1-era

Does anyone have any information on the type of ammunition used in this gun in 1941/2?

Hello friend. Thanks for that.

Yeah, that's a start. Now what about some stats like Weight of H.E filler etc. Got any of that?

I am almost certain Waffen Revue no. 38 has information on the weight and type of HE filler.
