Does anyone know the exact location of the 15cm schwere Feldhaubitze sFH18 in Hagerstown Maryland?? a lat and long would be nice but street address is also good. Thanks everyone

Is that the exact 15cm sFH You're looking for? Strange that there's a Natural Gas Box next to it. Anyway, I checked (Google Earth at some of the obvious places in Hagerstown, MD) with no luck. This would be the VFW and City Park. Good hunting, if found let us know. Rick

PS: Park is rather large, so I may have missed it!

This is the piece, Ive looked and cant find it, but its a big city. I have a unknown piece at a American Legion 39° 39.768'N 77° 42.473'W but the trails are open so thats not it.

No, that's where it is. There are two weapons there, probably a 105mm howitzer by the building and the German piece out at the end of the driveway. If you are using Google click off the 45-degree view and use the direct overhead. Streetview shows it to be the piece in your picture.

Also, if you are looking for those things, there is one or similar at the courthouse square in Cambridge, OH.

Nice find Kurt! A side note, although unrelated, the City Park has a RR Caboose in it and some engines from Western Maryland RR. I know little about RR stuff, but a RR buff may enjoy this. Rick

I can't take much credit - AJ found the location. I was just trying to get a better ID on the piece near the building! Razz
