German troops south of Stalingrad during a lull in the fighting. A
whitewashed 7.5cm le.IG gun can be seen being towed by animal draught.
The gun was widely used on the Eastern Front and remained the standard
light infantry gun throughout the war. The Germans generally assigned
light field guns or pack howitzers to dedicated infantry fire support,
though still remaining under artillery control
