6,6 cm Pak 5/800

Factory data are incomplete and in the technical data of this weapon appears as: 6,6 cm Pak 5/800, or 66 mm Skoda project And-14.

Business correspondence with Waffenamtem is not yet documented, so the official and cover the German markings are not known.

Diskuse

I think it would be correct to label this topic as either: 6.6 cm PAK 44 or 6.6 cm gun against assault vehicle (6.6 cm gun PUV) 5/800. 6.6 cm PAK 5/800 is a combination of both and probably not quite correct.

Dear colleagues,
as for the markings of this weapon, I'd rather leave a mixed germany-škodováckou form of registration: 6,6 cm Pak 5/800.

Justification
Prototype atypical caliber offered to the German military administration, probably from the initiative of the Skoda Werke (security 7 out of 10).

Just for the record. In my notes on unverified documentation, this weapon appears under the name: Shame And the-14..

According to the German language marking was the Germans cannon conducted officially under the name 6,6 cm Panzerabwehrkanone 5/800.

So I'm inclined to return the original name of the topic..
