Rare Geschützwagen 39H - 10.5cm leFH 18 (Sf.) - footage.
During the German attack on France from May and June 1940, several guns, tanks and infantry weapons were captured. The fact is that in 1940 the French army had strong medium and heavy tanks in service that were generally well to very well armoured. Some medium tanks such as the Hotchkiss H39 were fitted in 1942 with an armored superstructure with a maximum thickness of 20mm steel. The fuselage was fitted with 22mm (rear) to 34mm steel (front). The Hotchkiss H39 undercarriages were fitted with German 10.5 cm howitzers. A major advantage of mechanized guns was the fact that mobility increased and horses could be dispensed with. The vehicle was not very well armored, but that didn't matter as mechanized artillery was usually a distance from the front line. As a result, they were somewhat less vulnerable to enemy fire, apart from aircraft attacks. A total of 48 Hotchkiss H39 tanks were converted to the 10.5 cm leFH18 (Sf) auf Geschützwagen 39H(f) using the FuG Spr d radio equipment.
They were deployed in Normandy in June 1944. They were assigned to the Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 200 (part of the 21. Panzer-Division). Some examples were in service with the 8th Panzerartillerie Abteilung. The last 10.5 cm leFH18 (Sf) auf Geschützwagen 39H(f) were put out of action during the fighting in the 'pocket' of Falaise.
