History
The need to create this wedge was due to the fact that wedges without a tower had too small a firing angle. Thus, in 1936 they developed a variant with a tower.
Sample disappearance
In 1939, the sample, along with other wedges, was thrown into battle. On September 5, he went on the attack, and communication with him was interrupted. Most likely the Germans captured him.
