Re: PaK 97/38
Hi cbo, Patronenmeister,
it also struck me as very odd that the AP round is listed as a ‘PzGr 40’ APCR. I suppose it could be an inaccurate designation for an AP round (such as the 7.5 cm K.Gr. Pz. (p)) produced using a Polish design and/or components. On the other hand, maybe no AP rounds were produced at all. It is interesting that the table provides figures regarding HEAT round production which match those you found elsewhere. Perhaps all the figures are questionable. Or maybe the Polish authors of the recently published book came across some info we haven't seen elsewhere.
The technical sheets are interesting historical documents. One of my books seems to have been largely based upon them. The Pak 97/38 sheet has some useful information. The penetration stats, for example, are the same as you have quoted elsewhere. It’s a shame that the sheet for the Pak 97/38 isn’t as complete as many of the others.
