Historical Background

This kit depicts the lightweight 2.8 cm schwere Panzerbüchse 41 (sPzB 41) recoilless anti-tank rifle transported by horse-drawn cart. Developed by the German company Rheinmetall between 1940 and 1941, this weapon was widely used by the German army during World War II, especially up until 1943. It was primarily employed by infantry units and reconnaissance detachments on both the Eastern and Western Fronts, where its mobility – thanks to horse transport – significantly increased combat effectiveness. Examples of use include Wehrmacht operations during the campaign in the USSR and the battles in the Balkans.
