Photos of Skoda 15cm M-1928 gun

#1

Does anyone have high quality photos of the Skoda 15cm M-1928 siege gun used by Romania and Yugoslavia? The one usually seen (in Chamberlain's Fact Files: Heavy Artillery of World War Two) is of relatively poor quality. Also does anyone know the quantities exported to these two countries?

Hi all,

According to my information the only user of this heavy gun was Yugoslavia, which bought 20 or 22 guns.

So the earlier reports that Romania may have once had a few of these guns are incorrect?

The artillery tractors are FIAT Model 32s, correct?
