Immediately after the development phase, Rheinmetall started production of the gun. But it still took several years until in 1935 the first leFH 18 L/28 was introduced into the Wehrmacht. The first models were equipped with wooden wheels, but this was already changed one year later. From 1936, all guns were fitted with rubber tires on iron wheels.

Technical Data

maximum firing range	10675 m
no produced until 1945	19,104 guns
weight of shell (demolition)	14.81 kg

Initially it was planned to pull the gun by horse power, but it became quickly obvious that the 2 tons of weight were too much for the poor animals. As a result some artillery units were equipped with half track vehicles. This made it possible to take these units on roads with an average speed of 40 km/h.
