Hi

According to the photocaption this naval gun was in Norway with Otto Ciliax Commander-in-Chief
of the Kriegsmarine High Command Norway could it be the 28 cm S.K.L.45 at M.K.B. Husöen ??

Hi Jos,

It seems to be a naval turret on a boat : for me it is the hule of a kind of small battleship in an harboor. You can see a "small bridge" from the pier to the boat.

Regards

Sébastien

This is the italian monitir Fai Di Bruno. Built during WWI to carry 2-15 inch guns rom cancelled battleships. The smaller are 76 mm aa guns Reportidly it used concrete armor and was more of a self propelled barge with guns for shore bombardment than a true monitor. It survived into the second World War and was uses as a stationary coastal defense battery.

Thanks Sébastien and Roland

I have in 1944 a "coast" battery in Genua M.K.B. Monitor 2 x 38.1 cm K
and 4 x 7.6 cm Flak , this would fit the Italian monitor Faa Di Bruno .

If the Mkb was active it is a case of overkill as there were already 2 twin 381 mm turrets in service a genoa.

Yes you are right about the overkill 6 x 38 cm guns at Genoa , but I don't know date when the guns were build .

M.K.B. Monte Moro I = 2 x 38.1 cm
M.K.B. Monitor Biber = 2 x 38.1 cm
M.K.B. Arenzano = 2 x 38.1 cm

Jos,

This looks like twin naval AA guns of 90 or 100 or 105 mm. Are you sure it's French ?

My best guess from the shield and barrel shape would be french, most likely 90 mm Model 1925 in twin mount CAD Model 1930.

Thanks for your replays

I was thinking the same French 100 mm or 90 mm in twin mount , it's a pity
that the concrete bettung is blocking the view on the bottom part of the mount.

The gun on this picture from ebay.de looks very similar to the one on Jos’ first picture. It could even be the same location ! What do you think ?
