Hi Assfort,
This site:
http://www.geocities.com/historyfan2002 ... /itart.htm
Lists the following Dutch weapons in Italian service:
NETHERLAND:
Krupp 75L27
Boehler 47L32 AT (licensed version of our 47L32, but with muzzle-break. Used in Tunisia and Sicily).
The L27 must be a mistake, should be L30....

Differences in lenght
Assfort, I think Italy designated its weapons after barrel length, while other nations measured the whole weapon, including chamber. That's why Krupp L30 guns in Italy are called L27 and for instance captured Bofors 80mm L50 from Greece are called L48. L=long=barrel lenght divided by barrel width, so a 75mm Long 30 gun will be 30x75mm=.....2 metres 25 cms
So, no mistake or typo!

Hello, in Alghero-Porto Ferro area was planned over 220 concrete mg and at bunker. According to wartime report, only 170 was built.
The pillboxes in photo are near Torre Poglina beach (south of Alghero), but where is this open mg emplacement?
Normally, this open emplacement was used to reinforce strongponts during 1943, or was built like beach emplacement for "fixed positions" (Nuclei Fissi).
