Pak 36 (Panzerabwehrkanone 36)

The development of this gun began already during WW I with the construction of a 37 mm revolver cannon.

Introduced into the army in 1933/34 and used during the Spanish war. During WW II, the caliber and the impact force proved to be insufficient. It was even told to be only able to "knock" on the tanks.

As time goes by the experience is increasing and the elaboration of such weapons are becoming more powerful, it hurts that due to these weapons thousands of lives have been lost. But finally, the function of the museums is to exhibit what the man has invented history through others. For such reason, good post.
