Hi all,

I am not sure about the trailer in tow behind this SdKfz 2.
Could be a recoiless gun ? If a recoiless gun, which model ? LG42 ??

Hi Sturm 78,

I think I can confirm that the guns on these images are 10,5cm LG42. Here two good pics of this Leichtgeschütz (10,5cm Leichtgeschütz 42/1) out of the book "Die deutschen Geschütze 1939 - 1945" by F. M. von Senger und Etterlin.
But I cannot say whether this special trailer was made for the transport of a Leichtgeschütz or for something else.

Best regards

Bert

Some additional images and info on the ammo container here :

After I saw pics of LG42 in one of my book, I discover that the container in my collection was for LG42.
