Since I started modelling 3 years ago,I’ve always been curious what the acronym " PAK " in referance to german artillery stand for ??? Thanks ahead. Semper fi,rudedog
I was just pondering that the other day in the shower and forgot about it. I figured the K stood for Kanone and the P for Panzer.
According to this http://www.fischers-design.de/asl/abrev.htm
It stands for Panzerabwehr Kanone
It’s hard to remember what life was like before search engines.
