Notes | The 210/22 heavy howitzer was a modern piece of artillery and designed for motorised towing. It had a unique carriage which allowed for 360 degree traverse once in position. It took around thirty minutes to emplace and was towed in either two or four loads. It was only built in small numbers and five were sent to Russia and another fifteen were kept in Italy. |
