Hi, everyone, I want to know if my Distribution of 25mm AT guns in DI in May 1940 :
Active Infantry division : each infantry Regiment had 12 x 25mm AT guns = 36
CDAC Divisional AT battery : 12 x 25mm = 12
GRDI ( Recce btn) : 4 x 25mm = 4
CID ( divisional Training Centre : 6 x 25mm AT gun = 6
Total : 58 x 25mm AT Guns
Some A or B class infantry division did not have CDAC, so ist number of 25mm AT guns downed to 46.
Is it my data is correct or any Addition in 25mm AT guns ? Thank

That looks correct for paper strength. Few divisions had the full complement and many were very short, even where obsolescent cannon were substituted. The volume of Nafzigers OB for the French attempts a count of the shortages by division or regiment, but I am unsure of how complete or accurate it is.

Hi, Carl, that mean actual French division did not have enough number of 25mm antitank gun ?
On paper, B class 61st infantry division seemed to have all At weapon, she had CDAC and BDAC, but many books mention it did not have AT weapon in Sedan ?
