Andreas Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 If you mean divisional artillery, probably the 10,5cm lFH 18, which was the mainstay of divisional artillery from start to the end of the war. Just short of 11,000 produced before and throughout the war (over 21,000 including the successor lFH18/40). Of the sFH18 about 7,000 were produced. If you actually mean field guns (Feldkanone), it would be the 10cm K18. Just short of 2,000 produced before and after the war. The Germans were not that hot on Feldkanonen, they mostly used howitzers. All the data from www.lexikonderwehrmacht.de and quickly added up by me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Early war to 1941/2 3,7cm Pak36. 1941/2 to 1943/4 I guess 5cm Pak 38, thereafter 7,5cm Pak 40 (called 'Snake' by the Soviet tankers, AFAIK). Always a favourite, and an accessoir the discerning Panzerjaeger should not appear on the battlefield without was the 8,8cm AA gun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
