[edit] Summary

Krupp K 44 / PAK 44

This picture is of a German gun from the Second World War. This picture was taken before 1950 most likely in Germany in late 1945 or 1946.

Only a very small number of these guns were made hence pictures of this gun are extremely rare.

This picture appears in "German Artillery Of World War Two" by Ian V. Hogg. The image is at least 50 years old.

The book referenced above is out of print. The book contains two copyright references Ian V Hogg (1975) and Lionel Leventhal Ltd (1975). I V Hogg is deceased. Lionel Leventhal Ltd has ceased trading.

The only other reference is Arms & Armour Press who have also ceased trading.

I have been unable to locate an identified Public Domain or free instance of a photo of this gun.

The only reason for the picture is to show this gun and the only use on Wikipedia of this image is on a page about the weapon in question.
