This video delves into Germany's 7.5cm leichtes Infanteriegeschutz 18 (le.IG 18) light howitzer, developed by Rheinmetall after WWI.

It saw extensive service on all fronts during WWII. The description highlights its unique barrel tipping mechanism for loading and ejection, noting its satisfactory performance despite not offering a distinct advantage.
