The Bofors 75 mm Model 1934 was a mountain gun used by Germany, Belgium, China and Sweden in World War II. It was widely sold abroad as well as entering service with Sweden. Germany bought a small number of guns (12?) for evaluation and training before the war and designated them as the 7.5 cm Gebirgshaubitze 34. Belgian guns, known by them as the Canon de 75 mle 1934, captured by Germany were designated as 7.5 cm Gebirgskanone 228(b). The later model 1936 was purchased by Bulgaria.

Sources differ on specifications, but data from Gander & Chamberlain is presumed to be more accurate and is presented above.
