The 15 cm Kanone 18 (15 cm K 18) was a German heavy gun used in the Second World War. Around a hundred were built between 1939 and 1943. It was not popular in service as it was regarded as too much gun for too little shell. This caused its production to be terminated in August 1943. Many were used in coastal installations.
