History of the PaK 97/38

The PaK 97/38 was developed using the barrel of the well-known French 75 mm Mle 1897 gun. Many of these guns were captured after the invasion of France and proved to be a valid, quick, and relatively inexpensive solution to equip German anti-tank troops with a more powerful weapon than the outdated 37 mm PaK 36, which was no longer capable of penetrating the armor of more modern Soviet tanks such as the KV-1 and the T-34. It could fire a variety of ammunition types and was also used by anti-tank units of other Axis countries allied with Germany. Its operational performance was later surpassed by the 75 mm PaK 40.
