Then type "Cannone tedesco sul fronte di Tobruch nel giugno 1941" in the research block (top right).

Re: French 155 GPFT used by German troops
Canon de 155 GPF (Unaltered mle 1917). Number in service in 1940?
Canon de 155 GPF-CA (mle 1917 with enlarged firing chamber). Number in service in 1940?
Canon de 155 GPFT. 24 in service 1940.
Can anyone fill in the two unknowns above? I have a figure of 352, but whether that's for GPF and GPF-CA together, I don't know.
Was the GPFT a GPF-CA on the touzard carriage?
