and here is the proof !

This gun is the later L71 PaK version, that went into the Elefant, Nashorn, Jagdpanther and Tiger II. There are two mountings for this gun, the "traditional" cruciform principle one (called 'Barndoor') and this, the second version, a stop-gap measure to get more guns into production. It uses the same gun, but the carriage from the German 150mm howitzer. This is a standard version, not a one
off experiment.

A Big Thanks to Alex Oldenburger for translating and adding the background information !
