Neben der 8,8 Flak war die Pak 40 das weitverbreitete Panzerabwehrgeschütz der ehemaligen Deutschen Wehrmacht im zweiten Weltkrieg. 31 Stück dieser Pak wurden dem österreichischen Bundesheer von der russischen Armee überlassen. Es war mir nicht möglich herauszufinden, bei welchen Einheiten die Kanonen im Einsatz waren, bzw. wann sie ausgeschieden wurden. Bei der Maiparade 1960 waren Pak 40, gezogen von GMC, noch zu sehen.
Beside the 8,8 Flak, the Pak40 was the most rampant AT gun of the German Wehrmacht in WWII. 31 of these guns were handed over from the Soviets to the Austrian Armed Forces in 1955. I was unable to find out, to which units the guns were assigned to or when they have been withdrawn from service. They could be seen, with GMC as drawing vehicle, during the parade in May 1960.
