Questions on identification
The picture Grenadier posted of a Pak being towed in the snow: Isn't that a 10.5cm leichte Feldhaubitze 18/40 with tubular trails?
MaisAlto's picture of ubel mit Pak: Barrel looks too big for 3.7cm Pak, isn't it a 7.5cmInfantriegeschütz 37, also called 7.5cm Pak 37?

I believe you are correct about the PaK in the snaw - its actually a leFH-18. However you are wrong about the 3.7cm PaK. Its definately a 3.7cm, though its am ex-czech PaK-37(t) not the normal German PaK-35/36

Dear Bob,
Thought the leFH had tubular trails, someday I'll figure out how to expand the pictures to examine the details.
From Gander and Chamberlin "Weapons of the Third Reich" , 3.7cm Pak 37(t) has recoil cylinder above the barrel, not a recoil slide below. I think I'm correct here.
What do you make of the picture of the older FK in the harbor defense position?
Sincerely
Jack Nisley

Sorry - my screw up. I got confused with "Pak gun optic of croatian allied" on the first page

The gun behind the Kubel definately looks like a PaK-36 but you are correct the barrel looks too thick. I think its a leIG-37, unfortunately the most destinctive feature, the square muzzel brake is covered up
Cheers

Bob,
Don't think it's a 10.5 cm leFH16, the length of barrel sticking out beyond the end of the recoil slide is too long. I looked a little more closely at some references and I think it's a 7.5 cm Feldkanone 235(b), the former Belgian Canon de 75mm TR, a licence-built version of the Krupp Model 1905. There are handrails (?) on top of the barrel just forward of the gunshield.
Regards,
Jack Nisley
