The weaponry and equipment of the Slovak or rebel army belongs to relatively lesser known or even unexplored areas of our military history. It is a matter of general knowledge that the Slovak Army possessed the cannons of the German origin, which were supposed to gradually replace the material of Czechoslovak origin. However, the use of this material is less known or marked by an insufficient archival research. In my study, I deal with more detailed processing of the issue of delivery of the German Howitzers of the 18 (leFH-18) Model for the Slovak Army in 1942 to 1944. The use of the 18 Model Howitzers including their use in the training and in combat had brought a relatively significant progress even in spite having its limits. The issue applies to both the Slovak Army and the uprising the 1st CS Army.
