It was developed using the barrel of the famous French 75 mm Mle 1897 gun. Many of these guns were captured after the invasion of France and proved to be a valid, quick, and relatively inexpensive solution to equip German anti-tank troops with a more powerful weapon than the now outdated 37 mm PaK 36, which was no longer capable of penetrating the armor of more modern and robust Soviet tanks such as the KV-1 and the T-34. It could fire a decent variety of ammunition types and was also used by numerous anti-tank units of other Axis countries allied with Germany.

This cannon was a classic example of Wehrmacht improvisation on the Eastern Front. It was created as a combination of the captured barrel (in Poland and France) of the Canon de 75 mle 1897 cannon with the Pak 38 gun bed. It was a temporary remedy for the T-34 and KW-1 tanks. The first PaK 97\/38 guns were built in November 1941. Production continued in 1942 and 1943. About 3500 of these weapons were manufactured. They were used on a larger scale in combat in the summer of 1942. This weapon was also used by the Finnish army (from 1943). Despite the unusual combination and considerable recoil, good mobility, low weight of the weapon and the ability to fire HEAT shells made the PaK 97\/38 a good anti-tank gun. Technical data: barrel length: 272.1 cm, range (maximum): 11000 m, caliber: 75 mm, combat weight: 1190 kg, projectile initial velocity: 570 m \/ s (KGrPzPatr (p) shell), rate of fire: 10-14 rounds \/ min.\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe German experience of World War I clearly showed the great role of artillery on the battlefield and often the decisive influence that artillery had on infantry. At the same time, however, the limitations of the Versailles Treaty of 1919 hindered the development of this type of weapon in Germany in the 1920s, and in particular - the introduction of heavy artillery into line units. This state of affairs changed after the Nazis took power in 1933, when the process of virtually unrestrained armaments began. Many of the gun models developed earlier went into wide production. At that time (after 1933), several new types of guns were put into service on a really large scale, including: 10.5 cm leFH 18 or 15 cm SIG 33, i.e. the basic light and heavy howitzer of the German infantry during World War II. It is worth adding that the German army attached great importance to the role of artillery (especially heavy artillery) on the battlefield. For example, at the outbreak of World War II, the German infantry division had 20 75mm light infantry guns, 6 150mm heavy guns, 36 105mm light howitzers and 12 150mm heavy howitzers in stock. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is worth noting that the German tactic of using artillery put emphasis primarily on the accuracy of firing, which in turn had a negative impact on the speed of entering the action.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","published_at":"2025-11-26T12:29:34+02:00","created_at":"2025-11-26T12:29:34+02:00","vendor":"Italeri","type":"Scale Model Kits","tags":["Brand_Italeri","Category_Armour \/ Military","Scale_1\/35 Scale","Type_Cannons \/ Guns"],"price":49995,"price_min":49995,"price_max":49995,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47729355784443,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"8001283964609","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Italeri - 1\/35 Pak 97\/38 AT Gun with Crew","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":49995,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Italeri---1-35-Pak-97-38-AT-Gun-with-Crew.jpg?v=1764152976"],"featured_image":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Italeri---1-35-Pak-97-38-AT-Gun-with-Crew.jpg?v=1764152976","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":40192435290363,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.368,"height":585,"width":800,"src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Italeri---1-35-Pak-97-38-AT-Gun-with-Crew.jpg?v=1764152976"},"aspect_ratio":1.368,"height":585,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Italeri---1-35-Pak-97-38-AT-Gun-with-Crew.jpg?v=1764152976","width":800}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1\u003e1\/35 Pak 97\/38 AT Gun with C\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"\u003erew\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eItaleri 96460\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcludes all glues, paints and tools necessary to assemble.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PaK 97\/38 was a German anti-tank gun used during World War II.
