    Hello, nice vid ! Thank you. Two little nic tidbits: the Reibeil was developed as a fortification gun and was specifically designed to be used in a twin mount. Hence the ammo drum was mounted on the side: right side of the right gun of the twin, left side for the left side of the twin.

    The Israelis managed to upgun the 39H with a 6 pdr. Sort of a prelude to the later upgunned shermans.

    For your panzerjäger vid, it might be useful to know that the French alreday developed these in 1940 on R35 chassis: one type with a 47 APX M37gun and one type with a 75 mm mle 1897.
