General Guy François, born in 1946, has been conducting research for over forty years on the history of French artillery, particularly regarding the Heavy Railway Artillery. Author of numerous articles in specialist journals, he has also written reference works on German railway artillery and the 75mm model 1897 gun.

Published by Histoire et Collections, he authored two volumes in the series Les Canons de la Victoire 1914-1918, volume 2, dedicated to Heavy High-Power Artillery, published in 2008, and volume 3, covering coastal artillery and trench artillery, published in 2010.

A regular contributor to the journal GBM (Guerre, Blindés Matériels) since 2007, he has written numerous thoroughly documented articles on the history of Artillery, including in the rarely studied fields of tractor-drawn artillery, portée artillery, and equipment served by naval gunners.

He presents here a synthesis of his research on French ALVF, accompanied by previously unpublished documents and more than 450 photographs illustrating all French railway artillery equipment, the variety of which is nonetheless very great.

Paul Malmassari had already published, in the early 1990s with Heimdal, a reference work on the subject of armoured trains — a topic generally little treated.

Since the fourteenth century, artillery has been at the heart of every battle that has shaped the history of France.

Such a work would need to address, in detail, the evolution of equipment and weapons systems, of organisations, of employment —...

GERMAN ANTI-TANK ARTILLERY DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR

L20220293

On 15 September 1916, the first British tanks went into action against the enemy lines; the novelty of the threat compelled the German Army to design, in haste, weapons and ammunition capable of countering them. In the spring of 1918, distribution of the Tank-Gewehr — an anti-tank rifle of 13 mm calibre — began, while on the eve of the Armistice, the...

In January 1942, new units had to be formed urgently to make up for the shortage of manpower on the Eastern Front. The victory promised by Hitler for December 1941 was far from won. Paratroopers were called upon to fight as elite infantry at the hotspots of northern Russia. But their fighting value could not compensate for their insufficient numbers. The...

Several thousand — a few hundred of which were equipped to respond to the possibility of a gas attack — were thus fitted out in the basements of buildings, in the Métro, or even in the old quarries. Many were never dismantled....

The name of Maurice Gamelin inevitably calls to mind the generalissimo held responsible for the defeat of 1940, a military disaster of incalculable consequences. His condemnation seems beyond appeal. Yet a thorough study of the man tends to challenge many certainties about his actual culpability. Casting a dispassionate eye — far removed from bitter...
