45mm Anti Tank Gun Model 1937

The Soviet 45mm Anti Tank Gun Model 1937 was a combination of a modified 37mm carriage from the Model 1931 with a 45mm barrel. The resulting light semi-automatic anti tank gun was introduced in 1937. These guns were used in the early stages of the Great Patriotic War but their anti tank capabilities were limited to successes against only the lighter German panzers and APCs.
