Skoda 75mm Model 1928

The Skoda 75mm Model 1928 (75mm M.28) was a mountain gun, used by Yugoslavia and Croatian forces, during World War II. The gun was manufactured by Skoda, in Czechoslovakia. The gun typically had a 75mm barrel; however, it could be fitted with a 90mm barrel. The Wehrmacht redisgnated these guns as 7.5cm GebK 28 or 7.5cm GebK 285(j). The gun crew was protected by an armoured shield. This was a revised version of the Skoda 75mm Model 15.
