Historical Background of the Model

The 7.5 cm leIG 18 (leichte Infanteriegeschütz 18) was the basic light support gun for German infantry from the start of the conflict until its end. Guns of this type were seen on all fronts, including during the September Campaign, on the Eastern Front, and in the deserts of North Africa. The Germans used the leIG 18 for infantry support with fragmentation and anti-tank fire, making this gun one of the most recognizable German infantry support weapons systems.
