officially designated <b>8H63</b>) was a lightweight <a href="/wiki/Anti-tank_gun" title="Anti-tank gun">anti-tank gun</a> that used the <a href="/wiki/High-Low_System" class="mw-redirect" title="High-Low System">high-low pressure system</a> to fire hollow charge warheads. In 1945, it was used operationally by the <i><a href="/wiki/Wehrmacht" title="Wehrmacht">Wehrmacht</a></i> in small numbers. Only about 260 were produced before the war's end. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=8_cm_PAW_600&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>By 1943, the <a href="/wiki/German_Army_(Wehrmacht)" class="mw-redirect" title="German Army (Wehrmacht)">German army</a> was faced with various problems concerning their existing anti-tank gun designs. They had started the war with the <a href="/wiki/3.7_cm_PaK_36" class="mw-redirect" title="3.7 cm PaK 36">3.7 cm PaK 36</a>, which had the advantage of being very light at 328 kg, so that it could be moved a reasonable distance by hand using only its own crew. By 1941, this gun was inadequate; it could not deal with the heaviest armoured Soviet and British tanks. Its replacement, the <a href="/wiki/5_cm_PaK_38" class="mw-redirect" title="5 cm PaK 38">5 cm PaK 38</a>, offered better performance (though still only marginal against the new threat) but, at 1,000 kg, was at the absolute limit of what the gun's own crew could effectively move into and out of a firing position by hand. The next gun, the <a href="/wiki/7.5_cm_PaK_40" class="mw-redirect" title="7.5 cm PaK 40">7.5 cm PaK 40</a>, was a very effective tank-killer; but, at 1,425 kg, was no longer suitable for use by the infantry. A much larger crew and a vehicle was required to move this gun any distance at all and often just to displace it out of its firing position. Many were lost intact simply because they were overrun before their crews could move them. As the guns got bigger to deal with the latest tank technology, they became too heavy for tactical employment and more expensive. The PAK 36 cost RM 5,730 and took 900 work-hours to build, while a PAK 40 cost RM 12,000 and took 2,000 work-hours to build. The situation was so bad that, by May 1944, the 14th (<i>Panzerjager</i>) Kompanie of infantry regiments were having their heavy anti-tank guns removed and replaced by the <i><a href="/wiki/Panzerschreck" title="Panzerschreck">Panzerschreck</a></i> rocket launcher. But with an effective range of only 150 meters, this weapon did not provide the depth of fire required for the regiment's anti-tank defense. The only other alternative for a light anti-tank gun had been a recoilless weapon, but the German Army was less than enthusiastic because this type of weapon had many shortcomings, particularly its high demand for propellant. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Design_and_development">Design and development</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=8_cm_PAW_600&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Design and development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1943, a specification was issued for a lightweight anti-tank gun that used less propellant than a rocket or recoilless weapon, yet was sufficiently accurate to hit a 1-meter square target at a range of 750 meters. <a href="/wiki/Rheinmetall-Borsig" class="mw-redirect" title="Rheinmetall-Borsig">Rheinmetall-Borsig</a> proposed a design to meet this requirement using the new high-low pressure ballistic principle, also known as the Hoch-Niederdruck system. In this system, high pressure caused by the combustion of the propellant was confined to the breech section, which was relatively heavy, and did not act directly on the projectile. The pressure was allowed to bleed gradually into the barrel at a controlled rate and lower pressure to propel the projectile. Thus the barrel could be exceptionally light for a weapon that still had the advantages that accrue from a high pressure gun. The carriage too could be very light, although the initial prototype carriages proved to be too light and had to be redesigned. The resulting PAW 600 (later redesignated 8H63) gun weighed about 600 kg, less than half that of the 7.5 cm PaK 40, while having comparable armor penetration out to its full effective anti-tank range of 750 meters. </p><p>Unlike previous anti-tank guns, which relied on firing steel projectiles at high velocities to penetrate heavy armor, the 8H63 was designed to fire <a href="/wiki/Shaped_charge" title="Shaped charge">shaped charge</a> ammunition (also called hollow-charge ammunition, high explosive anti-tank, or HEAT). Because shaped charge warheads perform best when no spin is imparted on the projectile, the 8H63 was a <a href="/wiki/Smoothbore" title="Smoothbore">smoothbore</a> design. To simplify development and manufacture, the projectiles used were based on the widely used <a href="/wiki/8_cm_Granatwerfer_34" title="8 cm Granatwerfer 34">8 cm Granatwerfer 34</a> mortar (actual caliber 81.4 mm). This allowed the use of existing tooling in the manufacture of the ammunition, which reduced the costs. The cartridge case was developed from the <a href="/wiki/10.5_cm_leFH_18" title="10.5 cm leFH 18">10.5 cm leFH 18</a> howitzer. </p><p>The standard shaped charge projectile, which was designated 8 cm W Gr Patr H1 4462, weighed 2.70 kg. The propelling charge was 360 g of Digl B1 P (compared to a 500 g propelling charge for a Gr 38 Hl/B fired from a PAK 40), which produced a muzzle velocity of 520 mps and provided an effective range of 750 meters against a 1m² target. Armor penetration was 140mm of vertical armor, which was comparable to the 7.5 cm PAK 40 firing the rare and expensive tungsten-cored PzGr40 shot. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Other_uses_and_rounds">Other uses and rounds</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=8_cm_PAW_600&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Other uses and rounds"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Because the ammunition was developed from the standard infantry mortar, any type of round developed for the mortar could have been readily adapted for the 8H63, including high-explosive (HE), <a href="/wiki/Smoke_shell" class="mw-redirect" title="Smoke shell">smoke</a> and illuminating rounds. The HE round, the 8 cm W Gr Patr 5071 with a 4.46 kg projectile and total round weight of 8.30 kg was developed. This could employ three different charge increments for maximum ranges of 3,400 meters @ 220 mps, 5,600 meters @ 320 mps or 6,200 meters at 420 mps - about three times the range of the mortar and with the possibility of direct or indirect fire. This performance brings up another interesting feature of this gun. Traditional high-velocity <a href="/wiki/Anti-tank_gun" title="Anti-tank gun">anti-tank guns</a> were very inefficient when employed as field artillery firing explosive rounds in support of the infantry. The thick projectile walls necessary to withstand high velocities ensured a small explosive payload and the amount of propellent used was wasteful. The guns also fired at low trajectories (+22 degrees for a PAK 40), which limited their utility. For this reason, the German Army had always employed Infantry Guns, such as the <a href="/wiki/7.5_cm_leichtes_Infanteriegesch%C3%BCtz_18" title="7.5 cm leichtes Infanteriegeschütz 18">7.5 cm leichtes Infanteriegeschütz 18</a>, at the regimental level to provide fire support under the direct and immediate control of the infantry. This meant that every infantry regiment had an infantry gun company for use against unarmored targets and a tank destroyer (anti-tank gun) company for use against armored targets. A 8H63 firing an explosive round had a lethality almost comparable to the 7.5 cm infantry gun and had a greater range. The 8H63's multi-charge cartridge, 55 degree traverse (fine for anti-tank defence) and +32 degree maximum elevation could have allowed the merger of the infantry and anti-tank gun categories with resulting savings in production, logistics, and precious manpower. The 8H63 was to be organized under the new 1945 Table of Organization and Equipment (TO&E) in anti-tank companies of 12 guns with 104 men, replacing the anti-tank and infantry gun companies (300+ men) of previous organizations. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=8_cm_PAW_600&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Some 260 guns and 34,800 rounds of ammunition were completed from December 1944, with 81 guns delivered to the troops in January 1945 and 155 listed on 1 March 1945. Plans had called for the production of 1,000 guns, 4,000,000 anti-tank and 800,000 explosive shells per month.
