Hi,

can anybody identify which gun is shown in this pictures (taken from Deutsche Wochenschau 578/1941) ?
Geschütz 01.JPG
Geschütz 02.JPG
Geschütz 03.JPG
Geschütz 04.JPG
location should be Otschakow, so later there were

7,6cm guns

10,5cm schw. K 35 (t)

or even one of the 20,3cm SKL/45 ?

maybe just a temporary gun emplacement after the occupation before the Küstenartillerie took over?

could even be a Flakgeschütz ? as I have absolutly no knowledge I am looking for help -.-

thanks and happy New Year,

Alexander

Precisely - 8,8 cm Flak 18 (what can be recognised by the details of the lower carriage).

Ok, thanks a lot :)

narf - I had hoped for the 10,5cm K 35(t)

if it is a Flak it is most likly from 50.Division shorttime after the attack on Otschakow instead of the HKAA that occupied Otschakow later -.-

well, thanks for your help :)

Alexander
