The US M3 half track has some variants as SPGs. One is the T30 Howitzer Motor Carriage (HMC) with the 75mm M1A1, and the other one is the T19 HMC with the 105mm M2A1. These two filled the gap before the full tracked M7 and M8 HMC entered service.

The T18 75mm HMC. Still, the pack howitzer was added on the M3A1 Stuart tank chassis.

Very nice! For some reason, I've always liked weapons & vehicles leftover from WW1 or the inter-war period.

The US army mounted the 40mm Bofors AA gun to their mass produced GMC CCKW-352 truck chassis to build this SPAA. Also a number of them sent to support the Free French army.

I upload here this fun weapon which has the involvement of four countries. The American Chevrolet 1939 commercial truck, mounted with Russian Maxim M4 AA machine guns. Both came from Spain separately, taken by some republican troops escaped to France during the early 1939. French army converted 15 of these SPAA truck in January 1940 and equipped them to 999/6 AA company. During the French campaign the 999/6 company fought from Belgian to southern France until June 17th 1940.

If the 1940 French campaign never happened. In some time 1941, we will meet a really mechanized French infantry troops accompanying with their armored units (BCCs). I made a few new "what if" units for them.
Lorraine 39L DCA. Self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. AA and AT switch versions, to support BCCs and the Chasseurs portés (BDP).

Two French tracked armored troop carriers. The Lorraine 39L and the Renault DAJ1. The Renault one might enter production some time in 1941 and will gradually replace the Lorraine 39L.
