Pak 40: Germany’s Tank Killer

The Pak 40 was the most important German anti-tank gun in the Second World War. In this video we will take a closer look at the gun itself, some principles on employment of the gun, its capabilities and limitations as well. For this we look at the gun of the Panzermuseum Munster in Germany and also primary sources namely German Army Regulations, where it is actually called Panzerjägerkanone 40 not Panzerabwehrkanone (Pak) 40.
