Schwere HAUBITZE 42cm SKODA M.17(t)
£95.00
The
history of the heavy howitzer SKODA M.17 began during
Austro-Hungarian era. In the years of the First World
War Austria–Hungarian forces used eight SKODA
howitzers with the calibre 42cm (models M.14 and M.16).
Ninth howitzer, under designation M.17, was finished
after the WW1 and Skoda used it for the demonstration.
During the year 1939 OKH took interest in the
possibility to buy this weapon for Wehrmacht and in the
year 1940 it done it. After tests M.17 was deployed on
Maginot line as a part of special heavy artillery unit
No. 800. First goal for this unit was to support troops
attacking near Saarbrücken. After it the unit No.800
was used against Schoenengbourg fort. After the French
campaign the unit No.800 was deactivated and its weapons
stored.
Second part of Skoda M.17‘s war history was written in
summer 1942 in Russia during the attack against
Sevastopol.
End of the Skoda M.17 is not known, but in year 1944
German army ordered spare parts for this weapon.
