105mm leFH auf Hotchkiss 39H - fotod ja video

Fotogalerii 105mm leFH auf Hotchkiss 39H, The Hotchkiss H35 or Char léger modèle 1935 H was a French light tank developed prior to World War II. Despite having been designed from 1933 as a rather slow but well-armoured light infantry support tank, the type was initially rejected by the French Infantry because it proved difficult to steer while driving cross-country, and was instead adopted in 1936 by the French Cavalry.

2007 105mm leFH auf Hotchkiss 39H was a self-propelled howitzer used by the German army during World War II. It was based on the chassis of the French Hotchkiss H39 light tank, which was captured in large numbers by the Germans after the fall of France in 1940. The original turret was removed and replaced by a fixed superstructure that housed a 105mm leFH 18 light field howitzer, a standard artillery piece of the Wehrmacht. The vehicle had a crew of four and carried 32 rounds of ammunition. It was lightly armored and had a top speed of 36 km/h.
105 mm leFH auf Hotchkiss 39H oli mõeldud mobiilse suurtükiväe toetamiseks kiiresti liikuvatele panzerdiviisidele. See võib tulistada suure plahvatusohtlikkusega kestasid pika vahemaa tagant, kasutades kas otsest või kaudset tulerežiimi. Sõiduk oli varustatud ka enesekaitseks mõeldud masinapüstoliga. Kuid sellel oli mitmeid puudusi, nagu selle raske kaal, madal töökindlus, relva piiratud läbisõit ja kõrgus ning haavatavus vaenlase tule suhtes. Aastatel 1942–1943 ehitati ainult 48 sõidukit ning nad nägid idarindel ja Normandias piiratud teenindust.
