- sFH 13 (“kurz”): Original short-barrel version (L/14).

World War II Use: Despite being obsolete, the sFH 13 was still utilized by the German Wehrmacht in WWII, often for coastal defense (Atlantic Wall) or mounted on captured French Lorraine 37L armored chassis to create the Marder I self-propelled anti-tank gun (though this utilized the barrel, not the complete carriage).
