About the 7.5 cm PaK 40

The PaK 40 entered service in 1942 and quickly became the backbone of German anti-tank defenses. Its high muzzle velocity and effective ammunition allowed it to engage heavily armored enemy tanks with considerable success.

Late-war versions reflected production simplifications and adaptations to battlefield conditions. The PaK 40 remained in widespread use until the end of the conflict and is one of the most recognizable German anti-tank guns of World War II.

Technical data of the original gun:

• Caliber: 7.5 cm
• Type: anti-tank gun
• Crew: 5–6 soldiers
• Role: anti-armor warfare
