does anybody know if any countries after WWII used the pak 75 gun if so which ones and if you have pictures please post them

Finnish army used them up to 1960´s if I remember correctly. After that they went to storage and were held in inventory up to 1980´s.

According to Wikipedia, "After the end of the war the Pak 40 remained in service in several European armies, including Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Finland, Norway, Hungary and Romania."

Here are some norwegian ones (inc PaK38):






They were used until 1956/57 or so when they were replaced by 106mm RCLs.

This may be a 50mm PaK38 not a 75mm Pak40 (I can never tell them apart.) In any case, here's an ex-Syrian one captured by Israel in a border clash in 1955.

Used in the Former Republic of Yugoslavia by all factions during the civil war 91-95.

Hi,
Here in Spain we had it in service until 1975

They weren't common for Yugoslav civil war, yet they were in post WW2 inventory of Yugoslavia. Also, a large quantity was captured by Soviets, and some of them used by North Vietnam Army in Vietnam war - pics could be found in Concord publication Armor of Vietnam war (2) Asian forces

They (whoever) should keep a few in storage for war movies.

I guess the towing trucks are GAZ-63's

Every Austrian army base I've seen had at least two Pak40s on display. I think they were used until the 60s or 70s together with the Russian 7,6cm Zis3.
