When did the Axis forces stop using these weapons? Were any present in the Normandy campaigns?

I've read that they were in use all the way through from Crete on by FJ units, but with only 450 made I'm not sure if any saw service in Normandy. Maybe 6th FJ Regiment had some?

There were certainly 105mm recoilless rifles in use with at least one one artillery regiment in Normandy. I'll have a look later for 75mm.
