The 5cm Pak 38 (L/60) (5cm Panzerabwehrkanone 38 (L/60)) was a German 50mm anti-tank gun developed in 1938 by Rheinmetall-Borsig AG as a successor to the 3.7cm Pak 36. It was later followed by the 7, 5cm Then 40.
German troops used the Pak 38 during World War II in April 1941. When the Germans faced Soviet tanks during Operation Barbarossa in 1941, the Pak 38 was one of the few guns of the time capable of penetrating the 45 mm armor of the T-34 tank. The guns were also fitted with Panzergranate 40 APCR shells with a hard tungsten core as an attempt to penetrate the armor of the heavier KV-1 tank. The Pak 38 was also used in the Atlantic Wall.
Although it was later replaced by more powerful weapons, it remained a powerful and useful weapon in the service of the Wehrmacht until the end of the war.
Romania imported 110 Pak 38 guns in March 1943 and they remained in service with the Romanian Army until 1954, when they were replaced by the 57 mm M1943 (ZiS-2) anti-tank gun.
