Absolutely awesome photo of PAK in Russia

[K Bandow]

This was in a lot of 245 photos from one soldier.
I love how the PAK gun is in camo and ready to kick some Soviet Armored ass!

Awesome pic! Love the these types of shots. You lucky guy

Note that they covered up the ammo so it wont get exposed to nature !

Great shot, it must have been extremely difficult to locate pak's camoflaged in such a way. I wonder how many Russian tanks this crew destroyed?????????


With their "doorknocker" I bet they had to get those Russian tanks in real close, what nerve it took to man one of those anti-tank guns.

Born about eighty years too late!

When I bought the photos from a fellow forum member, I did not know what would all be in the lot. This was a very nice suprise!
Can anyone tell me what model PAK this is?

Karl,

It's the PAK 35/36, calibre would be 3.7 cm (37mm) - usefull during the early war years, but outdated by the time of the invasion of Russia. Indeed a 'doorknocker' , as Mike stated. No effect on T34s, unless it's real (too!) close, and you have a lucky shot.....

i like all three of the pictures, especially the color ones.

some how I think the caliber of the 2nd gun is slightly larger than the 1st, an 8,8 cm perhaps!! now that would stop a T34! and from a distance too, all great photos!

I have missed a lot of good threads due to my work... Dave, what a wonderful photo of 8,8cm Pak 43/41! Do any one of you know another color photo of this beast? I believe no... (some may exist from Allied sources but I haven't heard of one from german origin...) It is also rare as a B/W photo!

Thank you for sharing!
