During the war on the Eastern Front the Germans captured large quantities of Soviet equipment, and one of these was the 12.2cm FH396(r) howitzer, a captured Soviet 122mm M1938 (M-30) field howitzer. This was a prized weapon taken in some numbers and extensively employed by the Germans in artillery units and as coastal defence weapons. In 1943 a total of 281 FH396(r) were in German service. When the 21. Panzerdivision was rebuilt in France in 1943 the 12.2cm FH396(r) was utilised to refit the towed artillery component of the division.

The 10.5cm leFH 18 howitzers of German artillery batteries lay down a formidable amount of firepower, smashing defensive positions ahead of the infantry assault. Should the German lines be overrun, these artillery pieces fire over open sights as anti-tank guns. In this role they are capable of stopping even the heaviest enemy tanks.

Introduced in 1944, the 7.5cm Infanteriegeschutz (meaning Infantry Gun or IG for short) 37 was based on the gun carriage of 3.7cm PaK36 anti-tank gun which by this late stage of the war was effectually redundant. The gun was originally designated the 7.5cm PaK37, however this caused confusion since the weapon’s primary role was not intended as a anti-tank gun. Therefore, the designation was changed to 7.5cm IG37.
