link US Army prepares an anti-tank defense using 37mm anti-tank guns. These guns did actually manage to knock out a few tanks in WWII usually when mounted on Stuart tanks or sometimes are armored cars where the mobility helped them get in close. A towed AT gun needed a long range or excellent camouflage to insure a lethal hit. Still getting peppered by these quick firing guns was likely at least a bit unnerving no matter what tank you were inside of at the time. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

The 37mm was what armed most German tanks including the invasion of Russia so it was a decent gun at one stage. I know the Char, Matilda, T34 and KV tanks were impregnable but it still wasn't a bad gun. Like you say, the Stuart was a decent light tank though for what it was designed for. |

The towed 37mm stayed in service until 1945 with the US Army. It had a canister round and so was popular in the Pacific. Thanks for reading. Mike |

A canister round? I never knew, thanks for that! |
