| Notes | The Van 4.7 was the main anti-tank weapon available to the Dutch army in 1940. The Dutch purchased 386 of these modern guns from the Austrian firm Böhler in 1936 and it was capable of firing HE shells as well as standard AP. They were in widespread use and most formations had six issued to an anti-tank company at regimental level. |
