Heavy 10 cm Cannon 18
The schwere 10 cm Kanone 18 was produced in large numbers for the German Reichswehr and Wehrmacht from 1933 to 1945. This flat trajectory weapon had a greater range than the 15 cm heavy field howitzer 18, which was introduced at the same time. Four heavy cannons formed a battery in the artillery battalion, or in the III (heavy) battalion of the artillery regiment of the Panzer divisions.
