Historical Information

The 17cm Kanone 18 was a German heavy field gun used during World War II. Produced by Krupp between 1941 and 1945, it played a significant role as long-range artillery on many fronts, including the Eastern and Western Fronts. The gun was known for its excellent firing range (over 29 km) and was mainly used by German Wehrmacht artillery units. Due to its capabilities, the 17cm K 18 was valued for its effectiveness in destroying enemy fortifications and convoys at great distances.
