German artillery pictures

[Zünder]

After seeing so many great pictures of german panzers on this forum, i wonder if any of you have similar pictures of german artillery.
I would say, the bigger the caliber the better !

Great pictures, thanks !

First gun is a 15 cm s.FH 18.

Second gun is a french 32 cm K (E)(f) M74 railway gun, made by Schneider is think.Weight was around 160 tons, shell weighed almost 400 kg's.

It is a pity that "Queen of the Battlefield" gets less attention than tanks (count the number of books about artillery compared to the books about panzer).

I know a couple of collectors who are really devoted to artillery, but they're not with us (yet).

Here is a rare picture of 24cm K3 - taken in September 1940. Click the picture for a larger image.

Btw Akira great photo of the K3.It is the first time I have seen a private photo.. I had read it took 25 men 1 and 1/2 hours to prepare the gun to fire..a lot of work..
