Finnish Anti-tank Gunners with 7.5cm Pak 97/38
Here we see a group of Finnish anti-tank gunners firing a 7.5cm Pak 97/38 towards a Soviet tank. This anti-tank gun normally combined the carriage from the German 5cm Pak 38 (which gives it the curved gun shield that can just be made out there) with the barrel from captured French 75mm field guns
(identified here by the breech). In this case the French gun may have been purchased by the Finns from France in 1940 before being modified for the anti-tank role by the Germans.
