Gents,

Just coming back to the discussion around the two different types of wheels seen on the 15cm Kanone 18, pictorial evidence suggests that that the non-spoked wheels (those with large holes around the circumference) were used only on very early production examples. I have only seen the non-spoked wheels on 15cm K18 guns with the pre-war three tone camouflage (which suggests they were very early production examples) or on examples used by the Artillerie Lehr. Regiment in Juterborg. Again the assumption being that Juterborg would have received very early versions of these guns for training purposes etc.

Best,
Nezar

Very rare to find. Found mine on eBay. Only time I ever saw any. Seller said an archive was selling its material and that’s how he got it.

Best,

Does anyone know where the photos posted by Manufrey and Emmanuel towards the beginning of the thread of the 15cm K-18s with the trees and buildings in the background might have been taken? Lastly, there was an example of one of these weapons at Aberdeen, but it was moved to the Fort Sill museum ; does anyone know by whom and where it was captured? On another topic, can we clarify in one place here which exact units used these guns, where, when and how many? Also we should do the same for the 15cm K-39. I can edit the info if we can just get a handle on how many units used these guns, which model etc... That also goes for the K-16. For example, were there any 15cm K-18 units in the line at the beginning of the invasion of Poland? (I have read just one three gun battery was available for Poland somewhere). France and the Low Countries on May 10th, 1940 etc...

These are three technical drawings of the 15cm Kanone 16, the barrel wagon, and the limber with the later WW2 Era wheels and solid rubber tires: https://www.lovettartillery.com/MAT_15c ... etail.html
