The German Black Dragon

A 15 cm Kanone 18 firing at allied positions in Tunisia, the problem with the 15 cm K 18 was that the carriage was to complicated to move, and that it was too much gun for too little shell, but it had an excellent range. Jan-Feb 1943 (Bundesarchiv Bild 101l-557-1020-33A) (Bundesarchiv Bild 101l-554-0865-17A)
