Notes: Exactly the same as the LG 42/1 except the carriage was made out of steel and not light alloy. |
| Notes | The 105mm LG42 was designed by Rheinmetall. It was similar to the 105mm LG40 which was built by Krupp. It too had to be built using steel when the supply of aluminium ran short. It was deployed in the same way as the Krupp version and saw service till the end of the war. |
