Obice da 210/22 M35

➾ gun produced from 1938, 85 total

Author's rendition of the Obice da 210/22 M35 in Russia, 1942
The Obice da 210/22 modello 35 was an Italian heavy howitzer designed by the Italian Arms and Munitions Technical Service (STAM) and accepted into service by the Royal Italian Army in 1938. A total of 346 were ordered and the gun was produced by Ansaldo at their Pozzuoli factory. However production was slow and approximately 85 were produced by September 1943. After Italy surrendered Germany seized as many as they could and a factory in Northern Italy continued to produce a small number for the German Army. The carriage was split trail with four wheels which raised from the ground for firing and the gun was trunnioned under the breech to allow for maximum recoil and elevation.

Of course the Obice was not an antitank weapon, but it could fire, aside regular HE rounds, the Granata perforante 210/22, an armor-piercing shell, charged with only 8.8 kg of TNT but fitted with a special fuze. The idea was to call a strike on a stationary enemy armoured formation. A first order of 24 was concluded in 1938, then 66 in 1939, down to 46 in 1941 and then 34 in 1943 as production was slow and costly. The LXXIII Army Artillery Group assigned to the 8th Army (ARMIR) in 1942 was the first to use it in Russia, most were abandoned on the Don by December. In 1943 was another group was formed in Italy, bu was never operational, the Wehrmacht acquired 22 as the 21 cm H 520(i). The Hungarians also ordered 8 in 1940 as the 21 cm 39M. Postwar Italy retained with the 210/22 Howitzer Group Trento in 1952. It was retired in 1955.
