SK18 10cm schwere Kanone 18 - Walkaround - Useldange.

Originally uploaded on 31 dec. 2016.

The 10cm schwere Kanone 18 was a field gun used by Germany in WW2.
The SK18 was developed in 1926 by Krupp and Rheinmetall, after the German army wanted a new 10.5 cm gun as well as 15 cm howitzer which were to share the same garriage.

It would be produced until 1944 with a total of 1,433.
And would see service until the end of the war and after the war,
it served with the Albanian and Bulgarian armies.

This SK18 was damaged during the Battle of the Bulge and was sabotaged by its own
crew by firing the gun in compressed state.

It was salvaged from the area and can now be found on the Route D'Arlon in Useldange, as a monument.

Today you can still see all the battle damaged on the gun.
