Post subject: Rovereto: 37 mm Skoda trench gun. WW I

Much smaller beast than the 305 mm Mr. Green

This small infantry/trench gun was introduced very early during WW I. As you can see from the pictures below, it was quite complex/sophisticated from a mechanical point of view. The italian army was looking for a similar weapon and evaluated some captured ones; they considered it effective, but too complex and expensive for a trench weapon, unsuited for mass-production (less than 20 years later instead Italy build the Brixia 45 mm mortar, another too complex infantry weapon)

Two of this are visible in Rovereto's museum:







On the italian front mountain troops were fighting all over the Alps, sometimes above 3000 m (10.000 feets), so a ski equipped gun was handy Mr. Green
