A fun video of a restored German PAK 40 75mm A.T. gun being fired.

Awesome! I wonder how many of those poor artillery guys were deaf after the war. :mrgreen:

Probably quite a few of them, it was bad enough when firing the main gun on the Tank, and that wearing a helmet a not uncommon result was a thing called Tanker’s Ear. Out in the open like the cannon cockers were, I’m thinking lots of hearing loss occurred.
