About the Weapon:
The Canon de 105mm modèle 1935 B was the primary medium howitzer of the French Army during World War II. It had an effective range of over 11,000 meters, making it ideal for bombarding enemy positions from a distance. Though France’s rapid defeat in 1940 limited its battlefield impact, many of these guns were captured and repurposed by German forces for their own artillery units.
