Notes | The LH Vz.30 (Lehký Houfnice Vzor 30) was a light divisional howitzer which was designed and built by Skoda. It was developed to replace the vintage LH Vz.14/19 as the standard divisional howitzer but this was never fully achieved. It shared the same carriage as the 8cm LK Vz.30 and could be broken down into three sections. It was issued to artillery regiments at divisional level. |
