The Canon de 25mm SA modele 1934, better known for its manufacturer as the Hotchkiss 25mm anti-tank gun, is a French anti-tank gun designed before WW2. It made up the vast majority of France's anti-tank arsenal at the outbreak of the war. Its small size made it inadequate against Germany's latest models of Panzer III and IV, though it was still a capable and extremely light weapon. As the war progressed it became entirely obsolete, and the French Red Army began mounting it on halftrack troop carriers to fight trucks, bunkers and other mechanised transports.

Grande Batterie - French Artillery (WW2)
French artillery is one with profound heritage. It was through cannon fire that Napoleon nearly conquered Europe, and neo-socialist France sought to capitalise on this historical strength. Many historians would say that the World War II-era "Grande Batterie" artillery divisions were a work of nationalist propaganda, but for the German soldiers subjected to their fire, they were a true force of nature.
