3.7cm pak 35-36 on a artillerieschlepper 603(r) - or in engrish, an Artillery Tractor.  Correct on the gun.

Is that the same little gun that wound up being derisively called Türklopfer (door knocker) on the Russian Front?

If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.
