 | That bazooka is sweet. I noticed the the 'Tank Killers' book facing the camera. Can we put proper photos from the war, or is this just what we've got. 'Cos I have nothing.

| This Anti-tank artillery was the most powerful anti-tank gun in the world until 1942. The Germans found it so effective, and it was such a nice prize they even started producing their own ammo for it. It was Russian. This one was captured and is on display at Nuremburg.

| I believe the Germans made several modifications to the original Russian design. The PaK 36 (r) was also used to gun the Marder III (R) Tank Destroyer. Many were sent to N. Africa to aid the 88 in combating the heavily armoured Matilda. I would like to point out that the FlaK 18 & 37 8.8cm, although used in AT role, was a classified AA cannon. Just in case anyone tries to say that the Pak36r wasn't the most powerful AT cannon in the world.

| Good, I know this is WW2 General but the topic is anti-tank weapons and so a few of my pictures just might be from an earlier war... WW1!! Return to the days of the big cannon anti-tank guns and see how practical they have become since WW2. Then WW2, then finally into Vietnam and modern warfare. Sit down and enjoy the picture comparisons. Ha, Ha, Ha, I am a thread hijacker. |
