Historical Description

The PAK-40 (Panzerabwehrkanone 40) was a German 75 mm anti-tank gun, designed by Rheinmetall in the early 1940s. It became the principal anti-tank weapon of the Wehrmacht for fighting Allied and Soviet tanks. The gun was widely used on all fronts of World War II – from the battles in the USSR, through North Africa, to Western Europe. More than 23,000 units were produced, and the PAK-40 is considered one of the most effective German guns in its category. Its notable usage includes, for example, the Battle of Kursk (1943).
