25 mm Hotchkiss anti-tank gun

[Jagdpanzer]

Correct!

French M/34 antitank gun was product of Hotchkiss factory and developed in early 1930's. Its later designed competitor M/37 antitank gun was mainly manufactured by Puteaux factory. Both guns has same ballistics and same basic structure, in fact the largest main difference between the two was weight, which favoured M/37. Largest notable visible differences between the two are the structure of gun shield and wheels. Both guns used same ammunition. During German attack to France in 1940 these guns were the main antitank-gun types used by French Army. They proved to be accurate guns, and flash-hiders used in them made them quite difficult to spot, but their armour penetration capability and range were not good. The Germans captured both guns in large numbers in 1940 and used them in secondary roles as coastal defence and in some garrisons. Only ammunition types Finnish military used with these guns in battle were AP (armour piercing) and AP with tracer. This made them only antitank-guns in Finnish use without HE-ammunition (HE = high explosive). Anyway this was not much a shortcoming, because while high-explosive rounds are useful against enemy infantry and other soft targets, the 25-mm calibre was too small to make much of a difference. When each individual round had to be manually loaded to the gun the effect of resulting rate of fire combined with small 25-mm projectile probably just wasn't considered worthy for developing high-explosive round.

Finland purchased 50 French 25-mm M/37 antitank guns during Winter War, but only 40 of them were delivered in February of 1940 through Norway. The remaining ten guns were captured by the Germans when they invaded Norway in spring of 1940. About half of the guns, which had arrived during Winter War saw frontline service during it and three of them were lost in battle. During Interim Peace the Germans offered Finland another 200 French 25-mm antitank guns that they had captured. This shipment arrived from Germany 10th of December of 1940 with S/S Hohenhörn and included: 133 antitank guns M/34
67 antitank guns M/37
When Continuation War started large number of 25-mm guns were issued to Finnish frontline troops, but soon their weak armour penetration capability made them outdated, so withdrawing them from frontline use started already early 1942. Report concerning antitank-guns used by Finnish Army dated February 1942 notes from these guns that: "Their armour-penetration capability is such, that they have no meaning as actual antitank-weapons..." The last of 25-mm antitank-guns were withdrawn from frontline use in year 1943. After the war they were kept warehoused until being declared obsolete in 1959. The remaining 225 guns were sold to Interarmco in 1960.

I don't see any picture nor any link :/

[Jagdpanzer]

I had to temporarily remove the picture for some editing because the name of the vehicle was in the picture.

[Morbius Sire]

Hmm, it almost resembles the Morris Light recon car. So I'll go with Morris Light for now.

[Jagdpanzer]

No.
