About the Weapon:
The Canon de 25 mm SA 34, developed in the 1930s, was the standard French anti-tank gun at the outbreak of World War II. It could fire high-velocity armor-piercing rounds, making it effective against light and medium German tanks. However, as German armor improved, the 25mm rounds struggled against thicker plating, leading to the eventual replacement of the gun by heavier anti-tank weapons.
