Overview[]
The 7,5cm Panzerabwehrkanone 40 (7,5cm PaK 40) is a German anti-tank gun. The development of the 7,5cm PaK 40 began after Soviet tank designs were reported in 1939. The 5cm PaK 38 was still in testing at this point, but it appeared it would not powerful enough to deal with the newer designs. Contracts were placed with Krupp and Rheinmetall to develop a 75mm version of the PaK 38. The PaK 40 is the version put forth by Rheinmetall, and the PaK 41 is the version from Krupp.
