I thing I've located a 10,5cm K 340 (g) (ex-Hellenic Army C105 mle 1925/27 Schneider).
It's next to an (ex-?) Italian Cannone da 105/27 modello 912/913... Possible scrapyard? (I thing there's a Canon de 47 antichar SA mle 1937 wheel in the back)... Any suggestions?

Hello Dimitris

The gun on your first picture is a Canon de 105 mm Mle 27/27 aka 10.5 cm cm K. 340 (g)
the combination with the Italian gun and the French PaK is very strange .

Regards Jos

P.S. do you have any clue on the Greek 2 cm Flak gun ??

Hi Jos
No doubt is a 20mm Rheinmetall (Flak 30?) but the tripod mount is still a mystery to me... Just found another picture, taken from the LH back of the truck. Hope it helps...

Not so strange for "Atlantic Wall" mid-1944. :wink:

Another superb photos, Dimitrije! :D

Wow! :o Maybe I pulled that fast one :? (analogy with L13S) Sorry, sorry, sorry... :oops:

Other possibility to find both these guns together - German coastal artillery in Eastern Mediterranean (Greece, Yugoslavia).
