Ammunition
It is not clear if German AP shells for Pak 97/38 were produced. Polish AP shells were used in limited numbers.
The Finnish Army used locally produced ones designated 75 psa - Vj4 and possibly old French ones designated 75 pspkrv 59/66-ps. The 75 psa - Vj4 penetrated 92 mm at 300 m, meet angle 90°.
The HEAT projectiles penetrated about 90 mm at meet angle 90° or about 75 mm at meet angle 60°.
