The dreaded AT guns
We need a thread dedicated to the various AT guns that in most case were dreaded by the men on both sides. The most famous n' prolific of the lot has to be the 88mm FlaK 36 AA gun that was just as effective against armour as high altitude bombers.
I start with this FlaK 36 that's been captured in the desert by Australian troops.

Re: The dreaded AT guns
 A captured 5 cm Pak 38, a gun with low profile that was more than capable to take out allied armour in '40-41.

Re: The dreaded AT guns
I don't know if the 37mm PAK qualifies as "dreaded?"
