Hi Jos,

It looks the same to me. You also posted a picture of another barrel that looks very similar here:

Thank you Sturm, jopaerya. I have seen the guns in this photo attributed to a Mountain Division.

Hi all,

Dili and Jopaerya, there are not many wartime photos of 15cm sFH37t in german use. Could you upload some of yours, Jopaerya?

I found this other image on Ebay.com. Could someone identify it? I think barrel trailer captured in Russia. The wheels have some similarity with the wheels of barrel trailer that I posted on 16 Sep. in this thread. I think perhaps 203mm B-4 soviet howitzer barrel trailer but I have never seen this type of trailer for the barrel trailer of this howitzer. :?

Thanks in advance. Regards Sturm78.

Hi Jopaerya and Emmanuel. Thank you very much for sharing your images. :D

I just knew this barrel trailer for the 203mm B-4 soviet howitzer with with three axes with smaller wheels. I suppose it will be a most modern version.

The last one is the B-29 barrel trailer based on the T-26 light tank chassis.
Basically all three guns of this family - 152 mm gun Br-2, 203 mm howitzer B-4 and 280 mm mortar Br-5 - used the same barrel trailers.

Hello

The French "Mortier de 60 mm Mle 1935" was made by the firm Brandt and was also used by the Romanian army
http://www.worldwar2.ro/arme/?article=289 and last but not least the American 60 mm M1 .

Hi all again,

I found these images on Ebay some time ago. I believe that guns are 76.5mm Skoda M28 (7.65cm FK 304j) captured field guns but I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm this?

See http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 3&start=75 for other image with a similar weapon, I think.

Regards Sturm78.
