The 15 cm field howitzer dFH18 was widely used by the Wehrmacht on all important fronts during the Second World War.
It was developed by Rheinmetall and Krupp in the 1920s and 1930s.
From 1933 onwards, Germany's rearmament planning became increasingly ambitious, with the production of howitzers and field cannons in particular increasing significantly.
The sFH18 had a simple and reliable design with a maximum range of 13.5 km.
It could be divided into two sections and pulled by horses or, more commonly during the war, by half-tracks.
The sFH18 had a crew of seven.
A 10.5 cm caliber version was developed on the same carriage, characterized by a longer barrel, but only a few examples were produced, which were much heavier than the standard 10.5 cm leFH18 supplied as a field artillery cannon .
