This gun was designed to reduce the weight of the 10.5 cm le.F.H.18

I thought the main reason was war economy. :roll: (two weapons on the same (cheaper) carriage)

Hello The Edge

That could also be a main reason standardisation

For the fans of "Band of Brothers", the 10,5 cm leFH18/40 were actually the guns of the German battery at Brecourt Manor in Normandy on D-Day.

So the Brecourt Battery didn't have French 105's then ?

[Manuferey]

Right, Alan. The closest battery in the area with 10,5 cm K331(f) (ex-French 105 mm Long Mle 1913 Schneider) was the HKB 2./1261 positioned at Azeville.
