History
Development of the Pak 40 began after reports of new Soviet tank designs began to reach Berlin in 1939 and the currently in devlopment long 50mm pak 38 was deemed insufficent to deal with this new threath. First of the guns would begin rolling off the production lines in late 1940 but after the invasion of the soviet union in 1941 theese guns were given high priority due to the existing guns not being able to penetrate the soviet Kv1 and T34 tanks as predicted By the later parts of the german-soviet war the pak 40 was the main anti tank gun of the wermach.
