Pak43 - Walkaround - Wiltz - Bazooka Boogie monument.

Originally uploaded on 26 mrt. 2016.

The "Panzerjagerkanone 43"is a German 88mm anti-tank gun developed
by Krupp in 1941/42, in competition with the Rheinmetall 88mm Flak 41 anti-aircraft gun and used during WW2.

The Pak43 was the most powerful ani-tank gun of the Wehrmacht to see service
and 2100 were produced it was also used as the main gun on the Tiger II, Nashorn,
Elefant and the Jagdpanther.

The main version had a cruciform mount. But to speed up production and keep costs down
the new Panzerabwehrkanone 43 Pak43/41 with a two-wheel split-trail carriage was developed.

The Pak43 at Wiltz on the 329 road was found destroyed in the area.

Today you can still see the battle damaged on this anti tank gun.

After the war, it was placed at the 28th Division Band "Bazooka Boogie"monument in Wiltz,
together with a LeFH 18/40 Howitzer.

Today the Pak38 is in a bad condition with almost no upkeep the memorial is dirty and unkept.
