Default Re: French OOB06 (v.7)

In subject of of 75mm AA mle 1913 best page with description
French modernized some of guns in 1933 to be able fight with tanks also.
They were called Autocanon de 75 Mle 1913/34 but cars remain the same original De Dion Bouton from times of WWI. 57 AA batteries still used them in 1940 during French Campaign.
