The 15 cm sFH 18 gun was the basic German heavy howitzer during the Second World War. It had a caliber of 149.1 mm and was based on the earlier, First World War-era design of the 15 cm sFH 13. Some of the guns have continued their life with the Finnish Defence Forces into the 21st century as 152 H 88-40. These guns have been, however, fitted with new 152 mm barrels and pneumatic tyres along with other modifications.
