Skoda 75 mm Model 1936

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Skoda 75 mm Model 1936 (75 mm M.36) was a mountain gun manufactured by Skoda Works, in Czechoslovakia, and a variant was produced in Russia (as the 76.2 mm Mountain Gun Model 1938 or 76-38). Skoda also produced a handful of the 76.2 mm variant. For transport, the gun could be broken down into 3 sections, and further broken down into ten loads. The gun crew was protected by an armoured shield. The Wehrmacht would redesignate the Russian variant as 7.62 cm GebK 307(r).
