Hi all,

According to photocaption, an Atlantikwall bunker but...I am not sure. Maginot Line bunker is another possibility
Any idea ??

Sturm78,

It is the "75 Mle 1897 mod. 1938-1940" with inflatable tires. It was an improvement over the "75 Mle 1897 mod. 1938" with rigid rubber tires. The brakes were also improved.

Thank you, Emmanuel. I did not know that there were different official designations for these modernized versions of the old 75mm Mle 1897 frech gun
