Flames of War: German - Fallschirmjager 7.5cm Recoilless Gun
The Fallschirmjager Light Gun Platoons were armed with the 7.5 cm LG40. The 7.5cm LG40 is a light recoilless gun designed for use in airborne operations. It first went into action during Operation Merkur (the invasion of Crete) in 1941 where it was dropped in four separate containers. Later methods were refined and only two drop containers were used.
It was of very light construction making it ideal for the Fallschirmjager. The 7.5cm LG40 was also pushed into service with other German light troops where its light construction made it ideal for mountain operations. As a Man-packed Gun, they make good ambushers before opening fire, and their Turntable lets them fire in any direction when they do.
