| Notes | After the invasion of Crete the German military saw the usefulness of the 75mm LG40 in action and decided on a larger version to supplement the 75mm weapons. This resulted in the development of the 105mm LG40. It fired the same type of ammunition as the 105mm leFH 18 and was made using light alloys. The whole gun could be parachuted in one load or dropped in five small loads. Later versions were built out of steel due to the lack of aluminium. It served in independent batteries and some were issued to 1st cavalry division. Like the 75mm LG40, the 105mm LG40 served right through the war. |
