Historical Information and Use in Modeling

The 3.7 cm PaK 36 guns were widely used by the German army from the 1930s through the early years of World War II. The PaK 36 earned the nickname “Heeresanklopfgerät” (“army door knocker”) when its effectiveness against more modern tanks became limited on the Eastern Front. Nevertheless, this weapon played an important role in military campaigns against Poland, France, and in North Africa, and continued to be used for engaging lightly armored targets or as infantry support for a long time.
