Large parts of the Wehrmacht were not motorized, but mounted. This was also the case for this artillery unit with a 10.5 cm leFH 18 leichte Feldhaubitze (10.5 cm light field howitzer 18). The gun was pulled by six horses, and the operating crew rode along on the Protze. The gun remained in use throughout the war, was continually improved and partly motorized. From 1935 to the end of the war, 11,848 were produced, along with 10,265 of the leFH 18/40 variant.
