F. M. von Senger und Etterlin ststes in his book about German guns of WWII that one example of the 21 cm K38 was sold and shipped to Japan. This gun was roughly equivalent in performance to the 203 mm guns on the Hipper class CA's but was road transportable in two loads and weighed about 26 tons in battery. Does anybody have any information on where this gun ended up? I assume license production of this gun would have overtaxed the Japanese armaments industry.
