ww2dbaseThe 15-cm Kanone 18 heavy guns were designed by Rheinmetall beginning in 1933. They were introduced into the German Army in 1938. Although long ranged, the long length of the guns meant they had to be transported in two sections, making it cumbersome and time-consuming to deploy these artillery pieces.
