Towing a Pak 40

[Jim Ando]

Hi

What would tow a paK 40.

I was going to use an opel blitz but knowing the germans taste for exotic vehicles.

I was wondering if there was something designed especially for it.

there is some nice footage of a horse and a pile of men towing one, might be a 50mm though cant quite remember, and just as it goes out of shot past a burning building I think the horse must bolt as they all suddenly gallop off at double speed
