| - The 21 cm Mörser M. 16 was a heavy howitzer used by Austria-Hungary during World War I and it is completely different weapon than the German 21 cm Mörser 16. Skoda began design in 1915 for a wheeled howitzer that could be towed in a single load by a tractor. The first prototype wasn't satisfactory as it was too heavy and traversing was difficult due to the very high limber bar pressure. A second howitzer was delivered in mid-1917 that broke down into two loads for transport. This, at least, cured the traversing problem of the first weapon, as reported by the test battery assigned to the 11th Army. In the meantime, however, a third prototype had been ordered as the M. 18 with a carriage based on that of the 30.5 cm Mörser M. 16 that would allow for full traverse at the price of more time needed to emplace the firing platform. It broke down into three loads for transport. No M. 18s were delivered by the end of the war, although Skoda built some modified versions as the M. 18/19 for the newly independent Republic of Czechoslovakia where they were known as the 21 cm Mozdir vz. 18. After the Occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1939 the Germans adopted them under the names of 21 cm Mörser 18/19(t) or kurze 21 cm Mörser(t) and used at least 15 on coast-defense duties in Norway. The only known surviving piece at the National Military Museum, Romania. (en)
- Il 21 cm Mörser M. 16, era un obice pesante austro-ungarico impiegato dall'Esercito imperial regio durante la prima guerra mondiale. La Škoda iniziò nel 1915 la progettazione di un obice ruotato, trainabile in un singolo carico da un trattore d'artiglieria. Il primo prototipo non soddisfece le forze armate in quanto troppo pesante e difficile da brandeggiare. Un secondo prototipo, consegnato a metà del 1917, era invece divisibile in due carichi per il trasporto. Assegnato per le prove alla 11ª Armata, con questa seconda versione furono risolti i problemi di brandeggio del primo obice. Tuttavia nel frattempo il terzo prototipo era stato ordinato con un diverso affusto, basato su quello del 30,5 cm Mörser M. 16. Questa nuova versione così ottenuto, denominata M. 18, consentiva il brandeggio su 360° al prezzo di maggiori tempi di messa in batteria della piattaforma di tiro. Esso era scomponibile per il trasporto in tre carichi. Nessun M. 18 venne consegnato prima della fine della guerra, mentre in seguito la Škoda produsse alcune versioni modificate, come la M. 18/19, per la neonata Cecoslovacchia indipendente, dove l'obice era designato 21 cm mozdir vz. 18. Dopo l'occupazione tedesca della Cecoslovacchia nel 1939, la Wehrmacht incorporò gli obici cechi, ridenominati 21 cm Mörser 18/19(t) o kurze 21 cm Mörser(t), usandone 15 come artiglieria costiera nella Norvegia occupata. L'unico pezzo sopravvissuto è esposto al Museo militare nazionale di Romania. (it)
