History of 4,7 cm Pak 35/36 L/35,6 (ö) “Böhler” auf Sfl. Bren (e)
During the British retreat during the French campaign, particularly at Dunkirk, they were forced to abandon their vehicles and heavy equipment including dozens of Universal Carriers, which was captured by the Germans and designated as Selbstfahrlafette Bren (e)
After the capture of dozens of Universal Carriers, a few units were modified to receive the Austrian cannon Infanterie-geschütze M.35.
The Germans designated it as 4,7 cm Pak 35/36 L/35,6 (ö) “Becker,is a classic early multi purpose infantry gun design, which was even liked by the italian and licensed produced under 47mm 47/32 gun (used in the M13, M14 tanks and in self-propelled artillery Semovente L40 da 47/32). While the original austrian gun from the company Becker is noted as L/35,6 or L/39
It went into German service after the annexation of Austria by Germany as well as was captured from Netherland storage (Kanon van 4.7) and later russian stock (M35B).
