88MM Pak43 - Walkaround - Heinerscheid.
The M2 and M2A1 howitzers were the workhorse field artillery for the U.S. Army in WWII.
Developed based on German World War I 105mm howitzers, it filled the need for a motor-drawn artillery to replace outdated guns and tactics.
It would see action in both the European and Pacific theaters. Entering production in 1941.
With a moderate range, soldiers appreciated its accuracy and powerful punch.
Its main purpose was antipersonnel, but it was flexible enough to provide indirect fire as well.
More than 8,500 were produced during the war. All of these qualities of the weapon, along with its widespread production, led to its adoption by many countries after the war.
The Pak43/41 "Panzerabwehrkanone43"is a German 88mm anti-tank gun developed
by Krupp in1941/42, in competition with the Rheinmetall 88mm Flak 41 anti-aircraft gun and used during WW2.
The Pak 43 was the most powerful anti-tank gun of the Wehrmacht to see service and 2100 were produced it was also used as the main gun on the Tiger II, Nashorn, Elefant and Jagdpanther.
The main version had a cruciform mount. But to speed up production and keep costs down
the new Panzerabwehrkanone 43 Pak43/41 with a two-wheel split-trail carriage was developed.
This monument was placed here, in the honor of the 6th Armored Division.
Next to the monument stands a German Pak 43 and an American M2A1 105mm Howitzer.
The M2A1 was probably a postwar howitzer and has no historical information
the Pak43 was probably used in the Battle of the Bulge and was abandoned and sabotaged by firing the gun in a compressed state.
