Skoda 75 mm Model 1928
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Skoda 75 mm Model 1928 (75 mm M.28) was a mountain gun, used by Yugoslavia and Croatian forces, during World War II. The gun was manufactured by Skoda Works, in Czechoslovakia. The gun typically had a 75 mm barrel; however, it could be fitted with a 90 mm barrel. The Wehrmacht redesignated these guns as 7.5 cm GebK 28 or 7.5 cm GebK 285(j). The gun crew was protected by an armoured shield. This was a revised version of the Skoda 75 mm Model 15.
