Additional notes: 

The LG40 was a 75mm German recoilless gun (Leichtgeschütz stands for "light gun"). It was light, reliable, and could be packed in a few relatively small crates and airdropped. As such, it was used primarily by airborne units, and later by mountain and other mobile troops as well. It was for instance used with success during the airborne  invasion of Crete in 1941.

The recoilless system works by emitting part of the propellent gases toward the rear of the gun. The danger area at the rear extends to 100 meters during practice firing (50 meters during actual combat).
