BOFORS 10,5 cm kanon m/27 in Romanian service, What about this gun&

Hi guys !
Go on here a few pictures of the Romanian 10.5 cm guns captured in 1941 by the defenders of our glorious city of Odessa during the landing in Grigorievka . In principle, these big guns are quite easily to identify. This is a Bofors gun model 1927 of Swedish origin. According to the Internet such guns except for the Sweden were in service in the Netherlands (“10 – veld” ), Nazy Germany (FK. 334 & FK. 335) and Hungary (31M) . But about the availability of such guns in the arsenal of the Romanian artillery I found no information either on the Internet or in the military- historical literature. Maybe someone of the forum members help me sort out this issue ? Thanks in advance !

I couldn't find anything about the ”10.5 cm Cannon Model 1927” in Romanian Army inventory, maybe the Germans delivered the cannons to the Romanians directly at the front.

See here a tread I started about the same subject: http://www.ww2incolor.com/forum/showthread...artillery-piece!

Thank you so much,ionionescu, for your answer! Well, supposably, the Germans delivered the cannons to the Romanians at the front, but the guns were operated by Romanian crews IMHO, wich didn't fall from the sky. The crews were taken from any other Romanian artillery units, and some traces of these movements are supposed to be preserved in the documents...
And finally what is your opinion about the fate of these guns?

I also published a photo of such a captured "Fashistkiye pushki" (Fascist gun) - as it was chalked on it - in my book, Barbarossa to Odessa, vol. 2, page 164, bottom.

Well, but do you met while working on your book any additional information about these guns except for the photos?

No, because focus was on the activity of aviation (of all involved sides) until the fall of Odessa.

Yes, I see. But there was Soviet airborne operation during marins landing in Grigorievka, where the guns had been captured...

So, maybe the guns remained under German command?

The Romanian (?) longrange artillery 4-piece battery was lockated near Tchabanka village on the East from the Odessa city in september 1941.

And in other place of the text.

So most likely those guns were and remained German.
