Correct name?
editMany sources refer to this as the "10 cm", not "10.5 cm". Then I found this:

If you look down the page you will find photographs of the original German ammunition containers with the "10 cm" name.
So, what's the story?

Yes, the correct name is 10 cm. This was not the exact calibre, that was 10,5 cm. Likewise, the 8 cm mortar is a 8,1 cm and the 15 cm is a 14,9 cm. They did say 7,5 or 5,5 cm or also 10,5 cm but in this case it's 10 cm. Kris —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.190.253.149 (talk) 02:37, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
mixed up with the 15 cm K18 ??
editAccording to this website http://sturmvogel.orbat.com/GermWeapProd.html with a complete list of produced guns it seems that this gun was produced till the end of the war, and not till August 1943 as written in this wiki article. It seems that the 15 cm K18 was produced till 1943, so I think these two guns have been mixed up. Also, in another source, http://sturmvogel.orbat.com/artillery.html, the 10 cm gun comes up frequently but not the 15 cm. That makes me conclude that it was the 10 cm gun which was produced in large quantities up to 1945, while the production of the 15 cm was stopped in 1943. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.190.253.149 (talk) 02:32, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
