Hi all,

An 75mm Mle 1897 gun in German service. I had never seen this gun with this kind of pneumatic wheels....

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
