Hmmm!!
It looks a lot like the Rheinmetall 7,7cm L27 M1914 BallonAbwehrKannone...

I think you are right, Dimi. Thank you very much for your help.

I found this other image on Ebay. Can anyone identify this gun? I know it is a difficult question because of the camouflage but....maybe someone has any idea.

Hmmm.. (again)
I'd go for the 15cm hruba houfnice vz.25. Mainly because of the space under the barrel... I'm not sure...

Hello,

perhaps Schneider 75mm on Behelfslafette (I can remind similar example from Bornholm?)

Hi Andrew !..
I thought of a 7.5 cm on pivot Lafette C/39, but I'm not sure ...

Hi Jos !..

It's your post that made me think about a 7.5 cm on pivot Lafette C/39..

but the guns on your pictures does not have a frontal shield.

Hi Laurent

During the battle of the U-boot harbors a lot of guns were taken from the boats that were lying useles in the harbor and used as extra protection of the Landfront . As we know from photo's these guns on boats have some times special made gunshields that were not standard issue .

Hi all,

I found this image on Internet (sorry, I do not remember the exact source

). I think the gun is a 40mm hungarian AT gun. Can anybody confirm this?

PD: Thank you very much for your answer, Dimi, about 15cm hruba houfnice vz.25 and sorry for delay.

Regards Sturm78.

Looks more like a German 37mm Rheinmetal Pak to me ...
or possibly a captured Russian 45 mm??

Very interesting photo!

There is one 40M in Belgrade Museum with is distinctive angular shield - but this is not visible on this photo. Its wheels are not original - thanks to the photo now I see the right shape.

I think it's best to follow the "uniforms" clue - These soldiers look Hungarian.

I believe it is the 40mm Hungarian 40.M. IIRC, it was a simple upgrade of a 37mm Rheinmetal to the larger barrel.

Hi all,

I found these two images on Ebay. The pictures are not very good and the identification will be difficult (if not impossible ), but maybe someone will have any idea.

Thanks in advance. Sturm78
