Lorraine 37L & 38L trailers (German)

Description

The Lorraine 37L, also known as the “Tracteur de Ravitaillement pour Chars 1937 L”, was a French light tracked armoured vehicle developed before World War II. It was initially designed to transport ammunition, fuel, and other supplies to tank units on the front lines. The Lorraine 37L was equipped with a Delahaye type 135 6-cylinder inline engine, providing a maximum speed of 35 km/h and an operational range of 137 km.

The standard Lorraine 37L had several variants, including the Lorraine 38L, which was an armoured personnel carrier version. The Lorraine 38L VBCP (Voiture Blindée de Chasseurs Portés) was used to transport infantry and saw action during the Battle of France. The Lorraine 37L chassis was also used as the basis for various German conversions after the fall of France.

Both the 37L and 38L were used as troop and cargo carriers, as well as tractors for hauling fuel and light artillery pieces.

The adaptability of the chassis allowed for a wide range of conversions, providing essential support to armoured and infantry units on the battlefield. Despite its vulnerabilities, the Lorraine 37L’s reliability and versatility made it a significant contributor to the war effort of both the French and German armies.
