Skoda 75mm Model 15
The
Skoda 75mm Model 15 (
75mm M.15) was a
mountain gun, first used by the
Austro-Hungarian Army (
1918); and later used by the
Bulgarians,
Czechss,
Germans,
Italians,
Polish,
Romanians,
Turks, and
Yugos. The gun was
manufactured, in
Czechoslovakia, by
Skoda. The Italians would redesignate these as
Obice da 75/13 and the
Wehrmacht would redesignate them as
7.5cm GebK 259(i) and
7.5cm GebK 15. For
transport, the gun could be dismantled into 6 parts, generally carried in 4 loads. In addition, there was an armoured shield fitted on some (perhaps many) such guns. A revised version of this gun was released as the
Skoda 75mm Model 1928.
