Pak40 Wreck - Walkaround - 325th Glider Infantry Regiment Monument Manhay.
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.
The weapon was effective against almost every
Allied tank until the end of the war,
only struggling to penetrate heavier vehicles like the
Russian IS tanks,
the American Sherman Jumbo and M26 Pershing,
and later variants of the British Churchill tank.
But overall performance was pretty good.
It was also see action in the Vietnam war and would be used by
Norway postwar.
This Pak40 was knocked out during the
Battle of the Bulge and was found in 1996 during
road works, it was propably buried in the ground during
postwar clean up.
The gun would be painted and placed at the
325th Glider Infantry Regiment monument.
