Another 7,5 cm Infanterie Geschütz

Walter

I found another survivor of the rare 7,5 cm Infanterie Geschütz
This one is in the Westwall Museum in Pirmasens
Pictures are not mine but come from a german speaking forum.

i have a few pics of that piece if anyone needs them

Walter

Yes please do .

Massimo_Foti

Do you have pics from the same museum, or the same gun model preserved elsewhere?

In both case, please share if you can (no need to hurry)

Correct me if I'm wrong, however we know of 4 guns sofar Confused

1 Westwall Museum in Pirmasens, Germany
2 Panzer Museum Munster, Germany
3 Museum 40-45 Schaarsbergen, The Netherlands; 1 complete gun
4 Museum 40-45 Schaarsbergen, The Netherlands; 1 remaining barrel

It's hard to believe this is all there is

I would rather say just 3
You can't count that little piece of barrel as a complet gun ( my oppinion )

There are two more barrels, they are used as fence posts in the front garden of a village house in Belgium. These are my photos.

Very nice David. That wouldn't look bad in my garden either Smile

I would rather see them mounted on a carriage and in a museum!
Further along the fence, other posts are upturned mortar barrels.
The barn roof was held up by 75mm barrels from Panzer IV's.....
