Pak40 Wreck - Walkaround - Schumann's Eck.
The 7.5 cm Pak 40 was developed in 1939–1941 by Rheinmetall after reports of new Soviet tank designs.
The 5 cm Pak 38 was still in testing at this point, but it appeared it would not be powerful enough
to deal with these newer designs.
However, while the Pak 38 made extensive use of light alloys to reduce overall gun weight.
As a result, the Pak 40 used steel throughout its construction and was proportionally heavier than the 5 cm model.
A modified version of the gun designed specifically for vehicle-mounting was the 7.5 cm KwK 40.
The Pak 40 was the standard German anti-tank gun until the end of the war,
23,303 Pak 40s were produced and about 3,500 more were used to arm tank destroyers.
This memorial was erected on the 50th celebration of the liberation of Luxembourg.
The memorial contains several plaques of the American units who were involved in the battle.
There is also a Pak 40 at this crossroad, that was found in the area, it was restored
and was coated with anti rust coating at the Bastogne Barracks
and it was placed here as a new addition to the memorial in 2018.
