Hi,

Does somebody knoxs the czech designation of :

24cm A.Z. Gr. 35 (t)
24cm Gr. 40 (t)

mentionned in that german document :



Is there any czech docs about those munitions available online ?

Cheers,

S.

The Gr40 was apparently the Skoda schwere 24 cm Kanone - the German designation of the Czech Škoda 24 cm Kanone M. 16

some more details from German sources

The exact Czech denomination is 24cm těžký kanon vzor 16 and was indeed designated by the German as Schwere 24cm Kanone 16 (t) while new shells for this gun began to be produced in 1940 under the designation "24cm Granat M40 (t)" or in short "24cm Gr. 40 (t)" and entered in service in 1941. Previously the gun used the ONG vzor 35 shells succeeding the ONG vzor 21 shells.

Thanks for these beautiful drawings. I think the drawing of the 24cm ONG vz.21 is missing a small area. I tried to repair... Do you think driving band profile is correct in the repaired version?

hi Alpini
It is a paper copy of the original prescription taken in about 1995 when the offices did not have copiers of large format, only A4. . Since there is a lack of dimensioned drawings of shell, I put it here even with the imperfection that I am aware of.... How you edit your version is up to you.
Either you choose what you have or they don't copy anything, so it was a matter of decision in those years
If there is time in the future, I will look at other ammunition in 24 cm caliber for Czech cannons. (or 22cm ,..)
