This video explores Germany's 3.7cm Pak, their first World War II anti-tank gun. It details its origins from obsolete Hotchkiss cannons, its development by Rheinmetall into a more modern design with a larger case, and its initial horse-drawn configuration. The evolution of the gun with steel wheels, pneumatic tires, and suspension for motor towing is covered, along with its designation change. The video highlights its service numbers at the start of WWII, its obsolescence by 1941 due to increasing tank armor, and the introduction of specialized ammunition like AP rounds and the Stielgranate 41. Finally, it mentions its phasing out in favor of the 75mm Pak 40.
