5cm PaK38 gun (SS) (GE512)
includes three 5cm PaK38 guns with crew, Command SMG team, one Small base & three Medium bases.
Issued to the German Army in April 1941, the 5cm PaK38 was the successor of the 3.7cm PaK36 anti-tank gun. Developed in the late 1930s by Rheinmetall-Borsig, the 5cm Pak38 soon proved its worth during the early campaigns and into Operation Barbarossa.

Mounted on a split trail, the gun was usually
towed by half-track but was light enough to be manhandled into position
with the aid of a third wheel fitted to the spade piece of the trail.
Fitted with a gun shield to provide protection for the crew, the gun was
capable of firing both Armour Piercing and High Explosive rounds.
In the hands of the highly motivated and experienced men of the Waffen-SS, the 5cm PaK38 provides a deterrent to enemy tanks in the absence of the Panzers.

"The 5cm PaK38 gun has a Gun
shield which means that even if you fail a Gun save, your opponent must
make a Firepower test to destroy that team. But remember, Gun shields
only provide Bulletproof cover from shots fired from in front of the
gun." |
