Hoping someone can guide me to some drawings/photos of the German 15cm SK L/45 main gun, as used on the commerce raider Atlantis...been all over the Internet and even bought two of M. Skwiot's German naval guns books - but no luck. I understand these guns were secondary armament on SMS Schlesien. Thanks in advance.

These things still exist on land at Scapa Flow, and this one in Norway.

This is a gun on Kormoran. Slightly wet...
Below is too cool to believe. Named Linda with skull and Crossbones... I had a GF named Linda once.
Here is one of Kormoran's side-mounted main guns.
I found these pictures by Googling "Kormoran gun".

Great research Gaz and very cool pictures, I wish there was 350scale kit of the German commerce raiders. Did a lot of work around Australia and the Pacific.
