Hi All,
I'm after some info on the German WW2 Taper bore 2.8cm spzb 41 Anti-tank gun. Does anybody know of any in existence (Google search indicates x1 at Canadian War Museum). Are there any in the UK I wonder. Also any info on ammunition!
I am trying to track down the history and possible location if still existing of a captured example owned by No.6 commando in 1943.
I know the weapon in question was captured in North Africa and believed at the time to be the only one in allied hands. It was captured from the Herman Goering Division and is the lightweight paratroop model. I also know this gun was used in the UK in 1943 for enemy weapons demonstration purposes!
Any info help much appreciated!
