Historical Description

The 5cm PaK 38 gun was designed and put into mass production by the German company Rheinmetall from 1940 onwards. It was used extensively by the German army (Germany) during World War II, on all key theaters of operations—from the Balkan Campaign, through North Africa, to the battles on the Eastern Front. Owing to its effectiveness against medium-armored Allied vehicles and its compact construction, the PaK 38 was highly valued by soldiers.
