Austrian Howitzer M.14
Permalink   


 

 

Hi gents

One of the most powerful howitzer in WWI was the Austro-Hungarian Küstenhaubitze 42 cm M 14 (M 16 / M 17). I am collecting any sort of documents on these famous guns. Here some photos i recently found on the following sites and that may be of interest :

Cheers, Peter
