[edit] PaK and KwK

PaK stands for Panzer Abwehr Kanone, tank defense canon. Anti-tank gun. They were guns meant to be used on the ground in emplacements rather than mounted to a vehicle.

KwK stands for Kampfwagon Kanone, tank gun. These were mounted on vehicles.

And so, PaK 39 was the anti-tank gun version of that gun, while the KwK 40 was the tank mounted version of the gun. SenorBeef 00:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

No, only tanks with moveable turret used the KwK version of the gun, all others used modified version, StuGs use StuK (Sturmkanone) and Jagdpanzer use PaK. --Denniss 01:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Change of lead photo

The new photo is of a prototype version that differs significantly from the production vehicles - should we consider putting back the old image or at least finding an image of a production vehicle rather than the A-0 version? DMorpheus 12:53, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
