The Stielgranate 41 (German: "stick grenade"; model 1941) was a German shaped charge, fin-stabilized shell, used with the 3.7 cm Pak 36 anti-tank gun to give it better anti-tank performance. The 3.7 cm PaK-36, was the standard anti-tank gun of the Wehrmacht in 1940.
Design of a horse-drawn, 3.7 cm anti-tank gun (designated 3.7 cm Pak L/45) by Rheinmetall commenced in 1924 and the first guns were issued in 1928. [5] By the early 1930s, it was apparent that horse-drawn artillery was obsolescent, and the gun was modified for motorized transport by substituting magnesium-alloy wheels and pneumatic tires for the original spoked wooden wheels, allowing it to be ...
The 3.7 cm KwK 36 L/45 (3.7 cm Kampfwagenkanone 36 L/45) was a German 3.7 cm cannon used primarily as the main armament of earlier variants of the German Sd.Kfz. 141 Panzerkampfwagen III medium tank. It was used during the Second World War. It was essentially the 3.7 cm Pak 36 modified for use in a rotating enclosed turret.
A Pak's weight is within the range of 229 kg (505 lb) to 10,160 kg (22,400 lb). The smallest caliber was 28 mm (1.1 in) and the largest was 128 mm (5.0 in). Over the six-year course of World War II the armor of the tanks steadily improved, so the size of the projectile had to increase.
Germany's industrial capabilities decreased as the war progressed. As a result, the production of munitions, equipment, and weaponry had to become easier and more cost-efficient. Some of these, like the Maschinengewehr 42, were more than a success on the level of resources, but many were only simpler and less-expensive versions of an existing ...
This was a German Stielgranate 41 which had been modified to mount the 40 mm 36M gun instead of the German 3.7 cm Pak 36. It consisted of a German 15 cm hollow charge artillery shell ( I.Gr. 39 Hl/A , German : "Infantrie Granate 39 Hohlladung/A" ) mounted on a fin-stabilized tube meant to fit over the muzzle of the gun, and was launched by the ...

This gun was externally similar to the 3.7 cm Pak 36, using a modified version of the latter's carriage, but used the squeeze bore principle (in German called Gerlich after Hermann Gerlich, who developed the principle in the 1920s, reportedly for a hunting rifle) to boost its velocity, and hence armour-piercing ability. The bore had a diameter ...
