Cannone da 75 / 27 modello 06 The Cannone da 75 / 27 modello 06 was a field gun used by Italy during World War I and World War II . It was a license - built copy of the Krupp Kanone M 1906 gun . It had seats for two crewmen attached to the gunshield as was common practice for the period . Captured weapons were designated by the Wehrmacht during World War II as the 7 . 5 cm Feldkanone 237 ( i ) . Special fortress versions were produced as the Cannone da 75 / 27 modello 06 in Casmatta and in Caverna . These had different carriages suitable for static use . Many guns were modernized for tractor - towing with pressed - steel wheels and rubber rims . These weighed some more than the original version with spoked wooden wheels . The Cannone da 75 / 27 modello 12 was a modello 06 modified for greater elevation ( - 12° to + 18° 30 ' ) and lighter weight ( only ) . Only small numbers seem to have been produced . The Germans designated captured guns as the 7 . 5 cm Feldkanone 245 ( i ) . Both references listed below credit these guns with over range , but this seems highly unlikely given the limited elevation of both the modello 06 and modello 12 .
