Hi all,

Some images from Ebay:

See also http://sudwall.superforum.fr/t1925-155-cm-k416-f and http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... &p=1611284

Apparently the Germans towed this gun on a single load.

Sturm78,

The French Army also towed this gun in a single load. There are numerous pictures of guns abandoned on the roadside in May-June 1940 in the single load configuration.

I think the French Army used the two methods to towed this gun: single-load and two separate loads. There are images of both methods.

Yes, indeed. It was towed in two loads when horse-drawn on long distances. When horse-drawn on short distances or when a tractor was used, it was towed in one load.

Sturm,

Your last picture shows the 5th gun of a battery, indicated by the letter “E” (Emil), therefore, belonging to a 6 gun battery. The gun is mounted on some kind of a concrete platform with the wheel blocked.
