I used the google machine: apparently the BB Lorraine was not available until 1942. Taken by the Brits at Alexandria following the armistice in 1940. No major warships joined the Free French initially.
I think so. Great site, btw.
Didn't the British mobile gun/artillery vehicles named after various church offices have effectively standing position gunners, too? Or am I wrong?Brian, here's the Renault UE, together with a couple of lash-ups the Germans made by sticking a French 47mm or PaK 36 AT gun on the toolbox behind the driver. Apparently they could only be crewed by standing behind the vehicle, which sounds a bit naff. Not sure if the French did this themselves with their 47mm but I've included a unit anyway. I intend to make a SiG 33 Lorraine SP gun in future, but these were 1942 conversions, so no use to you.

They didn't check their maps, either, and saw the USSR was a REALLY big country...That's what they got for not packing their winter thermals and thinking their dastardly campaign will finish before xmas!
