Re: 75mm Mle 1897 in german service
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.
