Historical description and application

The 75 mm Schneider Mle. 1897 field gun is an iconic weapon that was adopted by the French army at the end of the 19th century. Produced under license in both France and Poland, it was the primary field artillery gun of the Polish Army. Used extensively during the September Campaign of 1939, it played an important role in the initial defensive actions against both the German Wehrmacht and Soviet forces. It was characterized by high rate of fire and great mobility, which proved to be a significant advantage on the battlefield in the first half of the 20th century.

The Model 1897 gun was used throughout World War II until equipment stocks were depleted. Apart from Poland, this weapon was also used by the armies of France, Great Britain, the United States, and many other Allied countries.
