Canfora: PAK - German Anti-Tank Weapons

A photo study of German anti-tank weapons in World War II, providing interesting views of weapons, positions and crews, from heavy rifles up to the massive 128mm gun

Germany developed the initial anti-tank weapons and tactics because they were the first to face tanks on the battlefield. When the earliest Allied armored vehicles crawled slowly across no-man's land, the Germans had nothing to stop them. Later, they began to use the "Spitzgeschoss mit Kern", (the K bullet), a 7.92mm steel core armor-piercing round and with that, the battle of the armor penetrators and the tanks’ armored protection began. As WWI came to a close, the Germans were developing artillery specifically focused on combating tanks, and the concept of the Panzerabwehrkanone (PaK),anti-tank cannon was born.
