Artillery

Infantry mortars

The Bulgarian army used German and Austro-Hungarian supplied mortars in World War I[142][143]. Most of these mortars (380 by the end of World War I[144]) were handed over to the Allied Control Commission after the war with 40 officially remaining as allowed weapons of the much reduced Bulgarian army by the Neuilly treaty. These "Erhardt" mortars[145][146][147] were obsolete by mid-30s, so one of the first delivery priorities for the Bulgarian army in the years before World War 2 was to obtain modern mortars.

  • 8 cm Granatwerfer 34 (Germany) - 320[148] (or 254 by other sources) were ordered in 1936 from Germany (in addition 120 were ordered in 1938[149]). Unlike the later mortars, officially known in the Bulgarian army as "M34", these are named "Rheinmetall M36". The total deliveries of these "Rheinmetall" mortars are estimated at 480, of the "M34" at 1400. 196 of these arrived in 1937, 160 more in 1938-1939[150], 160 in the first half of 1940[151], 1400 in 1943. There were 479 "Rheinmetall" and 1006 "M34" by 01.01.1944, 366 and 1229 respectively on 01.01.1945 and 387 and 1165 respectively on 01.01.1946[152]
  • Brandt Mle 27/31 (France) - Bulgaria negotiated unsuccessfully in 1936 with France for a contract for supply of 60 Brandt mortars in 1936.[153] Later in 1942-1944 up to 812 former French army 8.14 cm GrW 278(f) were delivered from Germany 518 were available on 01.01.1944, 380 on 01.01.1945 and 328 on 01.01.1946.[154]
  • 5 cm Granatwerfer 36 (Germany) - 812 delivered in 1943[155] 794 available on 01.01.1944, 669 (698 by other sources) by 01.01.1945, 529 by 01.01.1946[156]

The Bulgarian army had 367 mortars on 01.12.1939.[157] By 01.09.1944 the availability was increased to 2198 80mm mortars and 800 50mm mortars.[158] On 01.01.1945 the army had 1465 (1595 by other sources[159]) M34 and Rheinmetalls, 380 Brandts and 698 50mm M36[160]. Soviet equipment arrived in 1945 - 278 82mm 82-BM-37 and 90 120mm 120-PM-43 mortar[161]

The Bulgarian partisans also had a few mortars - 9 by 09.1944[162][163]

Field Guns

The Bulgarian divisional artillery in World War 2 still retained quick-firing 75mm field pieces of pre-World War I origin that were coming of diverse sources:

Usually in the Bulgarian Army documents this motley of Schnedier and Krupp 75mm guns is simply listed as 75мм полски оръдия ("75mm field guns") or 75мм возими оръдия ("75mm horse-drawn guns"), which makes it difficult to differentiate between the models listed above. It is known that during the World War I until 09.1918 340 of the above-mentioned guns were put out of action (but most were repaired or replaced) and 40 more captured by the Entente forces. [176] 707 75mm field guns were available in 09.1918 just before the Allied Offensive with the number dropping to 487 at 01.01.1919.[177] 248 were officially listed as captured in September 1918 by the Entente forces.[178] Then a number of guns were destroyed by the Allied Control Commission after the war as per the Neuilly treaty restrictions, but some were retained as officially permitted weapons and quite a lot were hidden and later retaken into service. Thus on 01.12.1939 the Bulgarian army still had 412 of these 75mm guns.[179]. At the end of 1942 there were 276 75mm "Schneider" and 215 75mm "Krupp" in the Bulgarian army[180]. In 05.1943 there were 394 75mm field guns[181], in 08.1944 - 474 75mm field guns[182] and in 01.1945 - 421.[183].

There were a number of modernization efforts in 1930-1940s carried out in Bulgaria of these 75mm field guns which involved:

  1. Stanchev and Dobrev Gun Carriage (СД-34) - in 1934-1935 the artillery Engineer Colonel Dimitar Stanchev (Deputy Head of the State Military Factory) and the artillery technician Gocho Dobrev (Head of the Artillery Workshop at the State Military Factory) developed a project for modernizing the gun carriage of the 75mm Krupp field guns[184] (in 1939 Dobrev and another technician Stoyan Minkov developed a similar proposal for the 75mm Schneider field guns[185] ). The idea was to use the gun carriage of the 10.5 cm leFH 16 as a model and to implement it on the 75mm guns in the Bulgarian army via replacement at the State Military Factory in Kazanlak. This modernization, carried out gradually from 1936 onwards, allowed to increase the maximum elevation of the guns from 26 to 40-45 degrees and thus to increase the range from 6 to 11 km.[186][187]. Initially this modernization created problems with the Equilibrators and the Recoil mechanisms - the absorbers and the recuperators. As these were not replaced in the initial modernized carriages and were estimated for lower degrees, when gun elevation was used at 40-45 degrees with the new carriage, the recoil needed to be finalized by hand. The Equilibrators problem was fixed by the Artillery Engineer Captain Ivan Stefanov along with the artillery technician Chushkov in 1936, but the Recoil mechanisms was finally fixed after trials only in 1942-1943 by a group of artillery engineers (captain Petar Ivanov and Captain Ivan Kisyov) led by Ivan Stefanov.[188]
  2. Converting to towed carriage for motor traction - in 1936 a group of artillery technicians led by Lazar Velitchkov developed special towed carriages for towing 75mm guns with speeds to up to 40 km/h by the then available trucks "Steyr" and "Morris Commercial" [189]
  3. Replacing the worn gun barrels - in 1936-1937 the Artillery Engineer Captain Ivan Stefanov developed a project for the replacement of the barrels of the 75mm field guns, which were in bad condition. After detailed studies and negotiations with Krupp and Rheinmetall in Germany, this project was approved and equipment for a new workshop in the State Military Factory in Kazanlak was acquired in order to allow the replacement of the gun barrels in 1938-1940. In 1936-1944 approximately 400 guns were modernized in the factory with new gun carriages, barrels, equilibrators and recoil mechanisms [190] [191]

Each Bulgarian Divisional Artillery Regiment had 1-2 artillery battalions with 12-24 75mm field guns (3-6 batteries) during the World War II.[192]

  • 7.7 cm FK 16 (Germany) [193] - 20 were received during World War I[194] (18 survived the war[195]). 14 were still in use on 01.12.1939.[196] Somewhere in the 1943-1944 these were withdrawn from service.[197]
  • 9cm Feldkanone C/80 (Germany) [198] - 10 of these 19th century not-quick firing guns were still in service on 01.12.1939, but were retired in 1940.[199]
  • Canon de 75 mle GP III (Belgium, Germany) - 32 horse-traction ones were acquired in 1942 from Germany from the former Belgium army stocks.[200] Unlike the former Belgian 105mm howitzers also obtained at that time, that saw wide use with the Bulgarian artillery, virtually nothing is known about the use of these guns. 2 surviving examples are still listed in 1947 as "7.5 см возими оръдия белгийски" in the army inventory lists of old guns, discontinued from service.

Mountain Guns and Howitzers

The Bulgarian army had 189 75mm mountain guns on 01.12.1939[201], including:

  • Canon de 75 mm Modèle 1907 Schneider-Canet (France)[202] - these pre-WWI quick-firing mountain guns (and the captured variations from other armies in the Balkans in 1912-1917) were being replaced by the Skoda mountain guns during World War I and later by other modern mountain guns, but a small number of these were retained at least until 08.1944.
  • Krupp 75mm mountain gun Mod. 1904 (Germany) - these pre-WWI quick-firing mountain guns (and the captured variations from other armies in the Balkans in 1912-1917) were being replaced by the Skoda mountain guns during World War I and later by other modern mountain guns, but a small number of these were retained at least until 08.1944.

48 of the old Schneider and Krupp quick firing mountain guns were still in service in 08.1944[203]

  • Skoda 75 mm Model 15 (Austria-Hungary)[204] - 144 of these mountain guns were received during World War I.[205] 36 were lost until 09.1918, including 4 that were captured.[206] 47 more were lost during the September 1918 retreat, captured by the Entente forces. [207]. The remaining guns were retained during the interwar period and served in World War II. 104 were available in 08.1944[208] and 94 in 01.1945 [209]
  • Bofors 75 mm Model 1936 (Sweden, Germany) - in 1936 48 of these guns were ordered from Krupp in Germany[210] and 56 arrived in 1938[211]. 40 more arrived in 1940.[212] 8 more arrived in 1942. 104 were available in 08.1944[213], 71 in 01.1945.[214] Bulgarian designation was "Krupp-Bofors Mod. 1936" or just "Bofors".

In 05.1943 there were 200 mountain guns in the Bulgarian army. [215]

  • 7.5 cm Gebirgsgeschütz 36 (Germany) - 90 were supposed to be supplied in 1944 under the Barbara supply programme from Germany, but only 20 were delivered before Bulgaria switched sides. Bulgarian designation was "75mm D/19 Mod. 1936"[216]

Each Bulgarian Divisional Artillery Regiment had 1 artillery battalion with 12 75mm mountain guns (3 batteries) during the World War II. There were also separate artillery battalions (4 batteries with 16 guns in total) on army level (4 in total)[217]

  • 10.5cm Gebirgs-Hubitze L/12[218] (Germany) - 16 delivered from Germany during World War I. [219] 14 survived the war[220] and were still available during World War II with the Bulgarian army.[221][222] [223]

Field Howitzers

During World War I Germany supplied 172[224] of the following models of 105mm field howitzers:

  • 10.5 cm Feldhaubitze 98/09 (Germany) [225] - supplied from Germany during World War I. Bulgarian designation is 105-мм возима гаубица Д-12 “Круп” обр. 98/09.

Also a similar model was captured from Romania in 1916-1917:

  • 10.5 cm Feldhaubitze M.12 (Romania, Germany) [228] - about 40 of these guns were captured from Romanian army in 1916-1917[229] and some were still in use in the Bulgarian army in World War II.[230][231]. Bulgarian designation is 105-мм возима гаубица Д-14 “Круп” обр. 1912 румънска.

120 of the above-mentioned types of 105mm field howitzers survived the war (incl. 67 L/12 and 45 L/20 and L/22, etc.)[232] 117 were available in 08.1944[233], 91 in 01.1945[234]. In 1943-1944 these old 1055m howitzers underwent modernization at the State Military Factory similar to the one of the 75mm field guns and including:

  1. Replacing the worn gun barrels with new ones - starting with the L/20 howitzers, but also on the L/12 ones. [235][236]
  2. Replacing the recoil mechanisms (absorbers and recuperators, springs) with the recoil reduced from 1400mm to 850-1000mm.[237] [238]

In 1945 the Soviet Union provided at least 100 more, plus some were captured in 1944-1945 by the Bulgarian army, as in 1947 there were still 352 in armament in the Bulgarian army.
  • Obusier de 105 GP 105mm[256] (Belgium, Germany) - 180 were supplied from Germany from the trophies from the former Belgian army. 40 were motor drawn and 140 horse drawn[257]. 180 available in 08.1944[258] and 158 in 01.1945[259]. Bulgarian designation is 105мм гаубица Д/22 "Белгийска".

Each Bulgarian Divisional Artillery Regiment had 1-2 artillery battalions with 12-24 105mm or 120mm field howitzers (3-6 batteries) during the World War II.[260]. The Army level (Heavy) Artillery Regiments (4 in total) also had 2 battalions with 24 105mm howitzers, as well as 1 battalion in the Motorized Artillery Regiment that was directly subordinated to the Bulgarian High Command. The Army level regiments and the HQ Arty Regiment were using the most modern howitzers available and capable of motorized traction, as these 5 regiments were fully motorized, unlike the divisional artillery regiments, which were (apart from the one in the Armoured Brigade and the one in the Cavalry Division) entirely horse-drawn.[261]

Heavy Artillery
  • 10.5cm Belagerungskanone L/30[262] (Germany) - 18 captured in 1913 from Turkey at Edirne, 12 available at the Bulgaria's entry into the World War I[263]. 12 survived the war[264] Bulgarian designation is 105мм (10.5см) скорострелно оръдие Д-30 “Круп”.

In 1935-1937 these were modernized by creating a special towed carriage for motor traction - in 1936 a group of artillery technicians led by Marin Aleksandrov developed special towed carriages from second hand rear axis of discarded trucks "Benz" and "Renault" from WWI for towing by Pavesi tractors[271] [272]. Projects for replacing the worn barrels, modernizing the springs and the recoil mechanisms, etc. were also developed, but there is no data that these have been actually carried out.[273]

Anti-aircraft weapons

By 1935 Bulgaria had only 5 anti-air guns[354], leftovers from the World War I - 3 8.8 cm Flak 16[355] and 2 7,5 cm Räder B.A.K.[356] These were retained and used during the war for additional air defense of the military factories at Sopot and Kazanlak equipped with an additional optical rangefinder (kommandohilfsgeraet Zeiß).[357]

Light anti-aircraft guns
  • 2cm Flak 30/38 (Germany) - 250 ordered from Rheinmetall-Borsig in 1936[358] and arrived in 1937-1938. 162 more are ordered from Rheinmetall-Borsig in 1938[359] and arrived in 1940[360], but were not yet shown in the army inventory as of 01.12.1939 - 250 available[361]. The modifications listed of these 412 guns were 250 Flak 30 (horse traction), 16 Flak 38 (horse traction), 24 Solothurn ST-5 (motor traction), 72 Flak 38 (motor traction), 50 Oerlikon 20 mm cannon (fixed mounts).[362] 12 Flak 38 (motor traction) and 24 Flak 38 (fixed mounts) were planned under the Barbara supply programme from Germany and delivered in 1944, however there is alternative data for supply in 1944 of a total of 88 20mm Flak 38[363], bringing the total 2 cm Flak 30/38 deliveries to 500. Each Infantry or Cavalry Division in the Bulgarian army was supposed to have a battery of 15 (5 platoons by 3) of these guns.[364]
  • 3.7 cm Flak 36 (Germany) - 9 were delivered under the Barbara supply programme in 1943 [365]and were used exclusively in the anti-air unit of the Bulgarian Armored Brigade[366]
  • 37 mm automatic air defense gun M1939 (61-K) - 153 were delivered by the Soviet Union in 05.1945[367]

Heavy anti-aircraft guns
  • 7.5 cm Flak L/59 (Germany)[368] - 20 (motor traction) were supplied in 1941 with 5 fire command units (rangefinders) Wikog ("Kommandogerät „Wikog” 9 SH") by Rheinmetall-Borsig[369]. In 1945 12 of these guns formed the Heavy AA Unit of the 1st Bulgarian Army fighting within 3rd Ukrainian Front of the Soviet Army. [370]
  • 8 cm PL kanon vz. 37 (Czechoslovakia) - 16 were supplied in 1941 , 7 more in 1943 and 12 more (last batch are former Yugoslav army) in 1944. All were motor traction ones and in addition 5 Škoda T7 vz.37 anti-aircraft central target finders and 6 Škoda vz.25 letoměr (Tepas) were supplied.[371] 12 were listed with the 22nd infantry division of the 1st Occupation Corps on 01.08.1944[372] and were captured by the Axis forces in the beginning of September 1944 during the retreat and the disarming of the Corps.
  • 8.8 cm Flak 18/36/37/41 (Germany) - 20 8.8 cm Flak 18 (motor traction - Sonderanhänger 201 (Sd. Ah. 201)) were ordered in 1936 from Krupp in Germany[373] and supplied in 1937 with 5 fire command units Pschorr (Kommandogerät „Pschorr” 27). Further 66 8.8 cm Flak 36 (motor traction - Sonderanhänger 202 (Sd. Ah. 202)) were supplied in 1943[374] along with 14 Fire Control Units Kommandogerät 40 and 14 Kommandohilfsgerät 35 and then a next batch of 50 (positional - fixed mounts) 8.8 cm Flak 37 in the beginning of 1944.[375] These guns formed the backbone of the Anti-Air Defense of the Bulgarian capital of Sofia during the 1943-1944 Allied bombing raids. Another 76 8.8 cm Flak 37 (positional - fixed mounts) were delivered in 1944, but have not reached the air defense and army units before Bulgaria switched sides in 09.1944.[376]

Three sources[377][378] and [379] claim that 76 mm air defense gun M1931 were used from 1946 in the Bulgarian army, but no data for supply of such guns can be found, as after the war Soviet Union was supplying 37mm and 85mm guns. One theory[380] is that these are 12 captured guns, used during the war by the German forces to defend its facilities in Varna on the Black Sea Coast, which were then abandoned during the retreat from Bulgaria.
